    I recently visited Colombo in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) and took pictures of almost 400 war graves (1914-58 but majority WW2).

    This included a number of South African servicemen - some in the official Borella memorial garden, others scattered elsewhere in the unkept cemetary.

    I would like to share these with people with an interest - and better still have them reach the descendants - and also invite people t add details of the person, the date/battle they lost their life in and anything else of interest.

    I am interested in these graves for my data base I am building on the South African Union Defence Force for WWII.

    Any chance of seeing some.
