I thought I had them all as well. When I checked on the database I only had the two. They are now catalogued and the cemetery closed. Cheers Geoff

| [quote=spidge;135878]Hi Rich, Thank you for the offer. The list is below. The blue is an Australian in the RAF. Cheers Geoff Hello Geoff, I had the urge to get out on the bike today and needed somewhere to go so I visited Hasselt and Munsterbilzen. I'll mail the individual photos through to you.  If you've got any more in Belgian Limburg or 'Zuid Limburg' in The Netherlands, I'll put them on the list for next time. Cheers, Rich

Hi Rich, Thanks for thinking of me. These are the areas I have on my spreadsheet. One I feel has been misspelt. Let me know what is near to you and I will send you a list. Cheers Geoff

| Geoff, Netherlands Limburg is the bit nearest to me. I can't promise to get everywhere but I am round and about down in the south. By the way, has anyone done Oud Heverlee (Leuven) for you ? I seem to remember lots of bomber crews there so there must be some RAAF. I still can't find your email address to send the pictures through to ! Rich
