Have a good trip Peter, sounds as if you are going to be somewhat busy. You are not the Peter Bennet I know from Brentwood are you?

Hello

Have a nice travell there.

A big agenda !!

If by chance you have the possibility to take some photos of the following graves

It would be helpful.

EVANS, WILLIAM EDWARD Private 3733 23/08/1917

Royal Gloucestershire Hussars United Kingdom

II. A. 7. BRANDHOEK NEW MILITARY CEMETERY No.3

GALLAHER, DAVID Serjeant 32513 04/10/1917

III. D. 8. NINE ELMS BRITISH CEMETERY

DECOTEAU, ALEXANDER Private 231462 30/10/1917

Canadian Infantry (Alberta Regiment) Canadian

XI. A. 28. PASSCHENDAELE NEW BRITISH CEMETERY

I have noticed you do not intend to go there but if by chance you do an additional stop on your road a photo of following grave would be appreciated.

ALLARDICE, C M A Lieutenant 26/04/1915

14th King George's Own Ferozepore Sikhs Indian

III. A. 18. WHITE HOUSE CEMETERY

(Note from CWGC: The Cemetery is located north-east of Ieper on the Brugseweg N313 in the direction of Roeselare/Brugge.)

In Cement House cemetery, a photo of graves of (unknown) soldiers buried there very recently would be appreciated. I do not know the exact place, but maybe it will obvious because of flowers or ground or ....

Many thanks in advance and enjoy your trip ! :)

Kind regards

and if its not too much trouble could you photograph the following three:

Vlamertinghe New Military Cemetery

Rfn ED Pollard R/11207 8/KRRC Plot II. C. 2. CWGC here.

Vlamertinghe Military Cemetery

Rfn R Hall A/154 8/KRRC Plot II. D. 2. CWGC here.
