Hi all,

If you wanted a Suez grave, the WW1 are done and the WW2 will be done tomorrow. Off to Ismailia tomorrow.

Was out with Mike Booker (Kirkes Lamb) last night. Had a couple of beer at the Hilton. Nice guy. Took time out of his day to help suss out some Egyptian police badges as well.

Thanks for the compliment. I enjoyed meeting someone with the same interests too. You are doing a great job and have fitted more into your several weeks here than I have done in two years.

Amazing work you are doing. I am looking for a photo of the grave marker of Lieutenant-Colonel Hew Ramsay DUFF in Cairo D 301. He died age 58 on 8 Feb 1916 0f pneumonia when he was with the Canadian 7th General Hospital.

Many thanks,

If you're ever in ALEXANDRIA (HADRA) WAR MEMORIAL CEMETERY then I would appreciate a photo of the gravestone of Pte Frederick John Taylor, 300061 1st Bn., Staffordshire Yeomanry. Grave E. 22.

No urgency whatsoever, just if you're ever there I would appreciate it.

Regards

Andy

I will try and do it next week for you. No access to popy however, but will print off a little card featuring a poppy,laminate it and place it by the grave. I did this for a family of the crew of an aircraft last year and then sent a photo including the grave! This is something I am proud to do for the British War Memorial Project.

Kirke's Lamb,

Just seen your offer, and recent requests relating to men who are buried in Alexandria.

If you are going over to Alex at some point, please could you consider photographing the headstone of Private Arthur Allan Moss, who is buried in Alexandria (Hadra) War Memorial Cemetery; details below :

Private AA Moss, 101280

Machine Gun Corps (Cavalry)

Died 18 December 1917.

Grave ref. F. 19

Cemetery : Alexandra (Hadra) War Memorial Cemetery.

If you would be kind enough to consider this - and are able to get there -at some point in the future, then please let me know and I'll PM you my e-mail address.

Many thanks

Mark

Mate, thanks so much. I am very grateful for your kind offer. It will be, as far as I know, the first time anyone from the family will have 'seen' the grave, except for the original photo sent to his NOK. Let me know when its done (no hurry of course!) and I will send you my email address.

Thanks again,

Dave

Now...., to find someone who might take a snap of Major's brother who lies in France! :blink:

Amazing efforts going on out there. Well done to our intrepid Pals.

PS - My Great Uncle is in Deir El Belah cemetery which is in Palestine 20 km south-west of Gaza. Somehow, I would imagine that casual visits are difficult. Anyone any thoughts?

Hope you can help
