I have been sorting through my photos of all my local men and have noticed just how many I have got that are of low quality. Personally I think a box brownie could take a better photo than some of them so I am reaching out to all the wonderful, generous and helpful people of this group (grovel grovel lol) in the hope that you may be able to help me acquire much better hi-res close up photos of my list of wants. There will be a later post for Cemeteries, but this one is specifically for Memorials all over the world. I realise that some of the listed Memorials are for WW1 casualties, but I find that most are close to WW2 Cems and Mems, so have included them anyway. I only have time to list the Memorials themselves for now, but will add names to each one in time, or if someone offers. Alamein Memorial Athens Memorial Bayeux Memorial Cassino Memorial Chatby Memorial Dunkirk Memorial Groesbeek Memorial Haidar Pasha Memorial Helles Memorial Jerusalem Memorial La Ferte sous Jouarre Memorial Le Touret Memorial Lee on Solent Memorial Liverpool Naval Memorial Lone Pine Memorial Loos Memorial Lowestoft Naval Memorial Medjez el Bab Memorial Menin Gate Memorial Mikra Memorial Nieuport Memorial Ploegsteert Memorial Portsmouth Naval Memorial Rangoon Memorial Runnymede Memorial Sai Wan Memorial Savona Memorial Singapore Memorial Soissons Memorial Tyne Cot Memorial Villers Bretonneux Memorial Vimy Ridge Memorial
I can do Cassino Memorial names if that helps. I will be there with a group 24-27 Aug 17. Regards Frank
I need hi resolution photos of individual names from each of these places. I have all the panel photos.
Thanks Frank. I know that Memorial is a bugger to get a good photo from, especially high up, because of the patterning of the stone it is made out of. The 6 names I have are as follows Panel 6 - Atkin, GW - Green Howards Panel 4 - Bullimore, CA - Coldstream Guards Panel 4 - Dawkes, T - The Queens Royal Regiment Panel 13 - Lambord, C - REME Panel 2 - Lilley, J - Royal Artillery Panel 10 - Warner, OW - North Staffs Regiment If your camera has a good zoom I would appreciate each name central in 5 - 7 lines. I also have 2 names in Cassino War Cemetery XVIII. H. 17 - Munday, GW II. E. 1 - Hughes, R Are you visiting any other Cemeteries as I have names at many of the larger ones throughout Italy? I have photos requirements/needs at the Savona Memorial and the following Cemeteries Adagem Canadian War Cemetery Ancona War Cemetery Anzio War Cemetery Arezzo War Cemetery Beach Head War Cemetery Coriano Ridge War Cemetery Faenza War Cemetery Gradara War Cemetery Meldola War Cemetery Minturno War Cemetery Moro River Canadian War Cemetery Naples War Cemetery Padua War Cemetery Sangro River War Cemetery Staglieno Cemetery Syracuse War Cemetery Taranto War Cemetery Udine War Cemetery but only if your passing
Greetings Temptage (just read your post). Am more-than-happy to provide images from the Jerusalem, Rangoon, Singapore and Sai Wan Memorials. Feel free to contact me directly via: nt872b(at)hotmail.com with your requests. Tony www.asiawargraves.com
Thanks Tony. I will contact you soon with a list of men buried at various Cemeteries that you have completed. I already have general panel shots for each man, but for my project I really need close up hi-res photos of each individual name on a Memorial.
I can provide images of all the grave markers and close-ups of all the names-on-memorials. Regarding the latter; I'm a passionate believer in taking close-ups of all the names on our war memorials and continuously encourage others to do likewise. Awaiting your lists in due course.
