Can you send me who you need in the following
Rheinberg
Berlin
Becklingen
Durnbach
Hamburg
Hanover
and Reichswald (I am hoping to get there myself as I have over 640 of my Airborne chaps there!)

Also I am sure that I have some pics of RAAF chaps from some Dutch cemeteries, I will have a look in the next few days

Hi Andy,

Would welcome any photos you have of RAAF in the Netherlands. As well , there are another 6 who were in the RAF.

There are 375 RAAF in 98 cemeteries in the Netherlands.

There are 1400 RAAF in 9 cemeteries in Germany. Let me know where you and your mate are going and I will give you a list and you can pick what you have time to do. Any would be appreciated.


Cheers

Geoff

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
