swizz Posted 24 January , 2007 Share Posted 24 January , 2007 Morning all, This weekend I hope - weather permitting - to visit the CWGC plot at Staglieno Cemetery, Genoa, Italy. Info here: http://www.cwgc.org/search/cemetery_detail...0400&mode=1 Would anyone like pictures taken of any particular graves? I need to know by tomorrow night (Thursday 25th) as I'm unlikely to be able to check the Forum after that. Sorry for the short notice but this is a very last minute trip!

swizz Posted 25 January , 2007 Author Share Posted 25 January , 2007 Greenwoodman and Chris - no problem! I have made a note of these men and will do my best to get the pictures. As I told Bob, the trip to the cemetery is weather dependent but hopefully it will be OK! Swizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen White Posted 29 January , 2007 Share Posted 29 January , 2007 Swizz Absolutely wonderful, it is a very good photograph, thank you for taking the time to get it for me. If you ever need anything from the Shropshire area, please do not hesitate to ask. Regards Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swizz Posted 30 January , 2007 Author Share Posted 30 January , 2007 No problem Stephen - I was pleased with the photos too! The sun was shining across the headstones rather than straight down on them which made them much easier to read - so I can't claim all the credit!
