john w. Posted 17 November , 2006 Share Posted 17 November , 2006 Just wanted to share a minor moment with fellow forumites.. When I was in Kenya I took a photo of the cemetery and now it has been added to the CWGC website. http://www.cwgc.org/search/cemetery_photos...2202&mode=1 John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen White Posted 18 November , 2006 Share Posted 18 November , 2006 John Excellent photograph, forum member and cousin NIGEL's, Great Grandfather Harry Bird is buried in that very cemetery. He has a photograph of the grave but not a general shot like the one you have taken. I'm surprised, but pleased to see how nice it looks.

john w. Posted 19 November , 2006 Author Share Posted 19 November , 2006 what you are looking at is the WW2 burial, if you look towards the back of the photo and outside the fence the WW1 burials are there. Not so tidy John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so tidy John John What you have just said, explains a lot. I have seen the photograph of Harry Bird's headstone, which although it's a close up, you can see enough of the immediate area around it, to indicate that's "it's not tidy". That's why I was so surprised that it all looked so nice as in your photograph. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john w. Posted 20 November , 2006 Author Share Posted 20 November , 2006 I took photos of the WW1 headstones whilst there but my memory on the camera ran out before I could do all the WW2 graves John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
