I'm very soon off to Ontario in Canada so if anyone needs a photo from there i will do my best to get it for you. I'll be based around St Cathrines but will be visiting Ottawa as well.

Take care

Hi Kyt,

Bit of both as i'm going over mainly to have a meeting with Veterans Affairs Canada but will also be visiting rellies while there. Going for 10 days and most of it will be spent in Ottawa or in cemeteries on project business.
I'll still be able to pop in now and again providing i can get a free internet wireless connection.
Take care
Mike

Hi Mike,

Yes I do have have a list if you are able to accommodate it into your schedule. They are spotted around with none actually in greater Ontario.

I will forward the spreadsheet as soon as I can.

Hope your meeting goes well and achieves all of your objectives.

Cheers

Geoff

Hi Spidge,

Just to let you know that i have got Ottawa Memorial and i'm hoping that i can get it processed while i'm here so i can get the photos you want to you. Also been to Notre Dame cemetery today, its not a big one but some of the casualties are buried all over the place rather than i nice rows. The largest one is Beechwood cemetery is huge though most are all in one area though there are a few scattered around. Lastly, Pinecrest i am hoping that its quite small as i only have a few to get from there. Travelling back down to St Cathrines near Toronto tomorrow after visiting the Canadian War Museum. Will hopefully be able to post some photos of that on the forum at a later stage.
Have fun all.
Mike (Sniper)
