    I was sent this newsletter by one of the ladies from Quainton. The Editors allowed me to copy this for use on here.

    Thanks Little Friend - A talented young pilot he was.

    One of the few headstones of the 48 who survived the war.

    I have all but one of the Australians, a New Zealanders, a few of the British and three of the Canadians. The task I set myself to collect them so they will be remembered is proving to be a most difficult exercise.

    Have you come across any in your travels?

    Cheers

    Thanks Tony,

    What a great effort. Fantastic photos.

    Probably due to your personal charm and charismatic approach.

    Please pass on my thanks and best wishes to the photographer.


    Cheers

    Just noticed that I do not have a grave photo of John Penboss Hunt who was found in Italy and Buried in Padua War Cemetery last year.

    If anyone can assist I would be most grateful.
