Auimfo Posted 14 November , 2007 Share Posted 14 November , 2007 I'd be really grateful to anyone who might be able to obtain a photo of this chap's grave for me, 253617 Gnr Frank Oswald Wills Royal Field Artillery Died 27/5/1919 Age 20 Grave Reference Div. 64. VI. F. 5. St Marie Cemetery, Le Havre Cheers, Tim L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alliekiwi Posted 14 November , 2007 Share Posted 14 November , 2007 Good luck, Tim. I don't think many people go to that cemetery. I tried to get a photo for my hubby's grandmother - her uncle was killed in 1916 and she never saw the headstone. Sadly no takers, and she died in June a couple of weeks off her 98th birthday. On a positive note, a very kind soul did take a photo for us of her brother's headstone at Wimeraux. Allie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auimfo Posted 14 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 14 November , 2007 Allie, I think you might be right. I thought about sending an email to Francois who was taking photos for forum members in early 2006. Unfortunately from the thread he posted it appears he fell ill and hasn't been here since so I didn't want to bother him. I'll just have to hope someone's passing through Le Havre at some time and remembers for me. Cheers, Tim L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alliekiwi Posted 18 November , 2007 Share Posted 18 November , 2007 Might this be better placed in photo and document requests? I think it's going to get lost in this sub-forum. Allie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auimfo Posted 19 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 19 November , 2007 There was already a thread there which I think was started by Bob and I tacked on my request. This one was just to make sure as many people as possible saw the request. The thread in photo requests got even less response than this one. Cheers, Tim L.

bts1970 Posted 20 November , 2007 Share Posted 20 November , 2007 Tim I have placed requests in the photo section before & then had a better response from other sections so i think you are right to put it in more than one place mate. saying that Le Havre isn`t a hot spot so don`t be to disheartened by any lack of response, one day someone will join the forum & find your thread & respond, this forum has helped me out so much, unbelievable sometimes & i am always incredibly gratefull Regards Bob lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
