ShirlD Posted 29 April , 2007 Share Posted 29 April , 2007 Hello Mike, Would you by any chance be going anywhere near Tel el Kebir War Cemetery. I have someone, reference 71 CWGC, 16 Tel El Kebir He is James Maxwell Ferguson of the 10th Light Horse. I think it may well be off the beaten track. I have emailed Ricky Nortje in South Africa regarding a relative of mine, so will be in touch when you return from your travels. Take care, Cheers Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShirlD Posted 29 April , 2007 Share Posted 29 April , 2007 That is a coincidence, I had never heard of this before and now 2 of us have someone there - must be fate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkes Lamb Posted 29 April , 2007 Share Posted 29 April , 2007 Just realised that ANZAC Day has gone, so unsure what the Australians and New Zealanders are up to here in Cairo next week! Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest quincyg Posted 1 November , 2007 Share Posted 1 November , 2007 I notice my great uncle is listed on the wants list. I was on a waiting list for a photo of his grave from the British Legion, but no joy yet. It's Sealby Edward 891925 El Alamein War Cemetery - Iv. G. 31. Egypt did you manage to get a photo of his grave? Please let me know. Many thanks Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friartuck Posted 19 December , 2008 Share Posted 19 December , 2008 Willingly, but you missed out yesterday as I just read this.Send me your email address and I will get them for you, when I next go. Can I publicly say what a wonderful job the guys do at Cairo War Memorial CWGC . They will find the graves for you, make phone calls if they struugle to find them and having spent an hour with you they wont accept a tip (and that is very unusual here, as even the Police expect a tip when your car parks outside).Thanks Simon to your team. Hi, I just found your post on doing a search for Tuck, can I ask if you managed to take a photograph of RWF Private Francis Douglas Tuck's name on the Alexandria Memorial, if so may I beg a copy? I would be most grateful. Kindest regards, Stephen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slmiddleton Posted 11 March , 2011 Share Posted 11 March , 2011 Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm unable to PM yet. I see that Charles Hampshire STEVENSON is mentioned in this thread. Did anyone get a photo of his grave in Chatby cemetary? He was my grandmother's first husband and I know his daughter would really appreciate seeing a photo as she is unable to make the trip to Egypt to visit.

clive_hughes Posted 11 March , 2011 Share Posted 11 March , 2011 Hi slmiddleton and welcome to the Forum, if there's no response on this thread, try asking the www.britishwargraves.co.uk website as I think they have the several cemeteries at Chatby covered.

MarkJD Posted 23 December , 2021 Share Posted 23 December , 2021 Really sorry to be following this up nearly 10 years after the last message on this thread. A few pages back there is a request for a grave from the CAIRO WAR MEMORIAL CEMETERY. POPE BEY s 18/03/1919 P. 48. This is my Great Great Grandfather and I would be extremely grateful if I could obtain a copy to share with my Father and Aunts.
