| I'll have a bash at these, if I can. Kilcullen Ballitore church is on the road to Athy Co. Kildare. I might be down that way soon. Limericks a bit of a journey but I'll see what I can do!

| I now have only 5 RAAF lads left to complete in Northern Ireland. Gotthard has been good enough to get me those at Drumachose & Limavady in Derry with another pledge coming to fruition for Killead Presbyterian & Killead (St Catherine). These are the remaining burials I have yet to have photos for and would be grateful if someone is able to complete them for me:
__________________ Spidge,  ------------------------------------------------------- My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html "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.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

| Spidge & Andy Just been around Lisburn cemetry. There is no one specific military plot, but there are quite a few military headstones. Unfortunately I could not find Messrs Bradshaw and Fraser. I shall enquire with the council as to the exact layout of the cemetry (no plans or markers on site) and get back to you Spidge I'll try and get down to Bally halbert in the next week or two also Yours, Capt Bill, resident of Lisburn Co Antrim |
