Recce War Cemeteries

Good to see them going down Paul.

I am just over 9,000 of 11,200.

France, PNG & the Middle East are my hard slogs.

Cheers

Outstanding Recce Graves

Hi Mike, Find attached my revised list. If there are any cemeteries you can do let me know and I will send details.

Cheers
Paul

 

Hi Paul,

I have the one at Spelsbury in Oxfordshire or is it coloured blue because you have it? Hopefully going to be heading to Somerset to see my daughter in the near future so can do any in that county for you. Also hoping to get Brookwood completed before the start of winter so can get that one for you. Would like to get all the cemeteries done in Stoke when i visit Kitty's mum next time. Will see if i can get Julie to pop out and do Bath for you. There maybe some others in Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire i can get for you as well. I will look at what i have on HERMANVILLE WAR CEMETERY also RHEINBERG WAR CEMETERY also TRURO CEMETERY and also COLOGNE SOUTHERN CEMETERY.

Mike

 

Mike, Thanks for SPELSBURY (ALL SAINTS) CHURCHYARD Oxfordshire, thats another cemetery finished. Any others you can get would be fantastic.

Hi Paul,

Good to see you are knocking them off.

I will be spending 4 days in France getting mine next year as they are the most difficult for me.

Not a huge amount to get in the UK except a few in Scotland and about 40 in Wales, Belgium is complete, a few left in The Netherlands, 244 at Rheinberg in Germany which completes the 1400 there.

Will start my website soon - fingers crossed.

Cheers

Geoff

 

Hi Geoff, When you have finalised your trip let me know which cemeteries you are visiting as I am sure that you will be visiting cemeteries that I have requests for. Belgium is also complete for me with 3 from the Netherlands. Good luck with your web site.
