BONE CWGC - anyone need photos?

At short notice I will be visiting Bone CWGC in Algeria this weekend. If anyone needs photographs taken please post the individual casualty details before by Friday morning (28th) - unfortunately I wont have email access after that.

Hope I can help,

Skip

 

Hello Skip,
Thank you for your kind offer. I would be very grateful if you could get me a photo of the following seaman's grave

No problem at all Hugh

 

Skip
I will PM you with request for all three cemeteries if that's ok

Hello Skip,

What a wonderful surprise and a lovely gesture - Never thought I would get my RAAF lads from there.

Would be good to get some Hi-Res photos.

Hope these 10 are not too much for you. I have sorted them in sections from 1 to 8 to make them easier to find.

I have attached a photo of the cemetery plan in case you do not have one.



Cheers

Geoff

Geoff - No problem at all. They are logged and I will get high res photos for you. I'm away until the week of the 8th but will send them on asap after that.

 

Algeria has been on my list of 'I'll never get them' but this is a BIG surprise. I have 5 men there

Driver SCOTT WILLIAM IV. A. 17.
Corporal FOX JOHN HARTLEY SCRIVEN V. E. 5.
Private Miller James Samuel VIII. B. 6.
Corporal Windust Harold William VIII. D. 4.
Driver HUTCHINSON FRANK VIII. E. 6.

That will leave me with just 1 name in Algeria.....I think I can live with that!

 

Temptage - No problem - all the names are added and I will get photos for you.

 

Skip,

I know how much time this can take so if you have any time/inclination in the heat, is it possible for three from the Irish Brigade..

It's a pleasure Owen - I get a lot out of this forum and normally feel pretty guilty for not being able to add much to it so here's my chance.

 

Paul (Recce Mitch) - will get those all done, plus the general shots. I'm just hoping that the sun is right for the time I have there.

 

Hi,
Any chance of Pte Edward Sly http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/938775/SLY,%20EDWARD IV.E.13 please.
