    There were over 11,000 Australians who died in the RAAF / RAF / SAAF / USAAF during WW2.

    Do you have somebody you know or are researching?

    Are you looking for a photo of their Headstone/Memorial?

    Hopefully, I can assist you - Free of Charge.

    Do you have a Headstone/Memorial Photo that I do not have? They are buried or Memorialised in 67 countries and over 2,000 cemeteries.

    I am also looking for personal photos of those who died for my research.

    Let me know who you are researching and a little about them and if I have the photo you are welcome to a copy as long as the person who supplied the photograph is given the credit.

    Look forward to hearing from you.

    Hi Paul,

    No I don't!

    I thought I would be sending them out, not getting them in.

    Where did you get this lot from.

    I only have 1of 11 at Enfidaville.

    Cheers

    Eyup Spidge had a ride out yesterday and got you one, weather permitting I'll be having another ride out tomorrow and get a few more.

    Hi Gav,

    Thank you very much for going to the trouble for me.

    I find my information that I have on Colin Harry John Clements quite ominous between you and Reccemitch.

    Cheers

    Hi DGee,

    Fantastic effort - Thank You.

    Yorkshire is "nearly" complete as I have had some photos from another friend.

    The only one I am not sure of is Hollingworth at Doncaster Rosehill Cemetery. I have it marked off on my spreadsheet however it is not under the Yorkshire file.

    I will have to do a search later and check. Hopefully the person who got quite a few for me initially still has it on file.

    If he has, I will let you know.

    Thanks again for your help with Yorkshire.

    Cheers

    Have you got the ones from selby, Newton, dishforth and tockwith? I think there's also hull? One of my work collegues lives in hull, I could possibly ask him to get that one?

    Hi Gav,

    One of my friends who achieved many of the photos has sent me the others. He had not been well for a while but organised the remainder for me.

    Which one is Tockwith Gav?

    I need to check the cataloguing however it seems Yorkshire is completed.

    Many hands make light work so they say.

    Thanks very much for your assistance - Great job.

    Cheers
