burlington Posted 2 September , 2006 Share Posted 2 September , 2006 Can I suggest that you arrange to let the British War Memorial Project , www.wargraves.org.uk, have some of the images you have taken, i.e those of British fallen. Some of the places you have mentioned have already been done, eg the ones on the Somme, but any others would be welcomed with open arms I am sure. In fact you could join as a volunteer, if indeed you are not one already. Regards Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattlefieldPhotographer Posted 2 September , 2006 Author Share Posted 2 September , 2006 Hello Martin, Fact is I was the American Rep for the BWMP for a while, and was removed from the project when I sent 44,000 images to Maidenhead for their archives. The BWMP is a fine project and has all the right intentions, with the exception they sold photos and declined to send images via email for a period of time (that topic was discussed on this site). But all that matters not. Water under the bridge. I went, I photographed, my images are available to anyone who asks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know I guessed something like that but did not, and still dont, know your name! The issue about charging for pics has now been dealt with, and so far as I know to the satisfaction of the volunteers i.e ask for a contribution to cover costs but that is all.

BattlefieldPhotographer Posted 2 September , 2006 Author Share Posted 2 September , 2006 Gary E Nelson, Founder, International Wargraves Photography Project www.findagrave.com/iwpp email: jeep113@verizon.net Hi Gareth, I was going too fast for my own good on my last reply. Yes, my photos are all on the web, see www.findagrave.com to view them. All photos uploaded are immediately viewable as well as any additional details. The IWPP is directly supported by FindAGrave.com regarding web space and there appears to be no end to the space available. Searches of cemeteries and burials can be made from the site, and if anyone has photos they wish to add to the site, they may do so readily. That was the basis for the form of my previous reply. If your friend in Sweden wishes she may upload them herself or I can assist as time allows. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borden Battery Posted 3 September , 2006 Share Posted 3 September , 2006 Hello BattlefieldPhotographer Here is an editted list of some Great War websites which you might wish to contact regarding the provision of grave photographs. Regards Borden Battery ============================= *In MEMORy by Pierre Vandervelden This well-designed website of Commonwealth War Cemeteries, Communal Cemeteries & Churchyards in Belgium & France enables one to inspect these cemeteries and to access basic information regarding a large number of soldiers from the Commonwealth. The main feature is a clever spreadsheet of each cemetery, a summary of nationalities, a photograph of the cemetery and an alphabetical listing of soldiers. The site also contains some beautiful photographs of a selection of regimental headstones. [CEF Study Group - Oct 2005 - Updated] http://www.inmemories.com/cemypr.htm *The Maple Leaf Legacy Project A Project in Remembrance of Canada's War Dead. The aim of the Maple Leaf Legacy Project is to photograph or obtain a photograph of every Canadian War Grave of the 20th Century. These photos will be made freely available on the project's web site. The project relies solely on the kind assistance of the hundreds of volunteers and sponsors around the world to get the photographs or to donate funds to help pay for the good work of the project. The Maple Leaf Legacy Project is a registered charity and can issue charitable tax receipts. [CEF Study Group] http://www.mapleleaflegacy.ca/ WW1Cemeteries.com This website site currently contains over 1250 different images of the First World War Cemeteries of France and Belgium, as well as numerous other images of Military cemeteries and memorials from around the world. All of these cemeteries have been personally visited and photographed by the authors over the last six years. The site also contains many other Military cemeteries and memorials from all around the world and features regimental headstone badges, a cemetery index for Victoria Cross recipients, links to other Great War websites, and an index of "Shot at Dawn" soldiers. Again, another well designed and presented website.
