Commonwealth Roll Of Honour Project

Hi Guys and Gals,

Just had the offer of having St Sever, France done for me. He is sending me over 7000 photos with a further 4500 to come once the extension is finished. Any requests????? Also just had the offer of the following cemeteries which he is sending via cd from France. BEAUVAIS and SAINT CHARLES DE PERCY.

Hi Mike, When you get pics sorted I have a few at SAINT CHARLES DE PERCY that I would like.

 

No Problem Paul. I gather he's buringing them to cd this weekend and hopefully will be sending them to me next week sometime. He also has BEAUVAIS, do you need any from there? Send me the list of names you need and i'll get them to you as soon as they are here.

Cheers
Mike

 

Hi Mike, PM sent. I have no requests for Beauvais

 

Okay Paul, I'll see what other cemeteries he has done, he didn't list all that he had so hopefully we will be able to knock a few more off your lists for you.

Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike,

What a fantastic effort. It is really incredible and mind blowing how many cemeteries there are in France.

I have just completed organising my French cemeteries for when I get there next year. I still require 319 headstones in 129 cemeteries in 42 compartments and only one is on your list.

LOVELL, JOHN HENRY (DFM) 408145 7/11/1942 Grave 4. Latitude48.14059Longitude4.6724 CHAMPIGNOL-LEZ-MONDEVILLE CHURCHYARD Aube

Edit: Forgot Lille.

In Lille I have my last one of WW1

TAYLOR, GEORGE LONSDALE 3484 11/02/1919 I. D. 7. Latitude50.61255Longitude3.04718 LILLE SOUTHERN CEMETERY

And one WW2

MASHMAN, KEITH AUSTIN 424776 4/11/1944 Plot 7. Row A. Grave 10.
Latitude50.61255Longitude3.04718 LILLE SOUTHERN CEMETERY


I have just completed coordinates for all so I can enter them when I arrive. I will buy or hire a tom/tom when I hire my car.

In 14 cemeteries, the RAAF lads are the only Commonwealth burials. Sad that they lie alone.

I have allocated (5) days to drive around and see how many I can get. If I can get 30-50% of them I will be happy.

Hope all is going well for you.

Will contact you nearer the time to catch up.

I will be staying in London for the first few days to see a few sights and "recuperate" from the trip over.

Most of my UK ones are complete except for Hampshire and a few of the difficult ones here and there.

Wales will take me a few days as I only have about 10%. Scotland is complete except for one of the Islands and Ireland is completed.

Looking forward to meeting up.

Say hello to the little woman for me.:biggrin1:

Cheers

Geoff

 

Hi Mike,

I have received these from another source so Bedfordshire (according to CWGC) is now complete.


Cheers

Geoff

 

Hi Geoff,

Thought i had sent you all the ones you required in Aube. I will find it out for you and get it sent as soon as i can. I will send you the ones from Lille as soon as i recieve them. I have loads still to list in France which are WW1 but i also have some in other countries to put up as well.

It would be good to meet up next year mate, we are both looking forward to it.

Good to know you have the one from Bedfordshire as i probably won't get there now until early next year due to work commitments and wanting to finish off Brookwood and Runnymeade first.

Just allocated out all of west Oxfordshire, at least what is left to do in that area. Hoping to get to do what is left of east Oxfordshire over the new year period and have Oxfordshire completed by the end of Jan.

Heading out this sunday to probably the Macclesfield area of Cheshire. Any requests for photos of any of the cemeteries in that area.

Hi Mike, Is this one any where near where you are going

BOLLINGTON (ST. GREGORY) ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCHYARD

54th Indep Sqdn Reconnaissance Corps

Trooper JOHN DANIELS New part. Grave 33.

 

Bollington is in the hills above Macclesfield. I'll try to remember to give him a heads up on this one. However it has given deplorable weather all weekend so will be fun for him in the blustery graveyards of cheshire

 

I'll try and get to this one Paul. The weather is not going to deter me from doing as many as i can, its either that or go shopping with Kitty and her mum and i know what i would rather be doing, haha. Bollington is on my list of the ones i would like to get done on sunday so if i get that far i will do it for you.

Cheers
Mike

 

Mike thanks, I too hate shopping with the wife

 

Did it last weekend and not planning to do it for two weeks on the trot. Have been told that i'm starting in Bollington on sunday and then moving on to Macc afterwards.

 

and for this I have just acquired a satnav so he can navigate the narrow side streets of bollington without getting totally lost
