I've just sent 5 uncompressed images, including a good one of the 36th Sikhs names. Check that your postbox can handle them.

Sorry, I have no RFA names.

To understand the Cemetery layout please read the CWGC notes about the removal of headstones due to salinity.

Havrincourt

Sorry, I have no SWBs or RFAs

I'll post soon with a list of names of British dead from Indian units that can be seen on my images.

Did I say thanks for the photos? I did intend to, but

1) slight problems with my emails (Outlook)

2) put a rose thorn through my hand - hence typing abilities took a further downward turn by 50% (could only use one finger instead of two)

Thanks for the note about the headstones - I know the men are still where they were buried, didn't quite understand the reasons for the removal of them.

Hi, I see it's been 14 years since the last request but any chance you have pictures of the South Lancashire panel for E Weston? Thanks
