| Hi Mike,
I think for a first shot it is really showing promise and will be welcomed by family members, historians and researchers.
A majority will not have a detailed cause of death (correct?) and family photos so as Kyt intimated, there should be a distinctive generalised template to fill the page which can be deleted and replaced with photo(s) without losing the effectiveness.
I am excited by the thought of this massive project moving to the Internet and only wish I had more time to assist.
Can you please provide a timeline of the marketing/advertising strategy that you envisage taking place. When things start to move and you are aware of what photos you do and do not have we can make some suggestions as to how these can be achieved.
There is project officer I am in touch with in Australia for the Australian War Graves Photographic Archive. Are you aware of this organisation?
There is also another one I found on the net in the Netherlands who has a large archive of Commonwealth photos.
Cheer
Geoff

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."
(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
