Hi Carol,

Thanks for the offer, that would be great. Hope all is well with you and the family.

Does your husband still stop at every cemetery without command? The one at Ruislip has already been offered by a chap on Great War Forum so that is one less.

I will email you the details, is that okay?

Would it be possible for you to take a photo of the cemetery at these places as some of them are not on the CWGC site.

Thanks again for your help.

I am just half way through doing another list for WW2 which I should have listed today sometime.

Cheers

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.)
