You're Top Poster: #3 | Having said that, Sniper and his lovely wife photographed and sent me the 1,471 RAAF boys listed on the Runnymede Memorial and I am yet to catalogue those. Piece of cake you say!

Is that Hammersmith in West London? If so I can probably pick that one up. Don't know how I missed it from your previous excel sheets. We will certainly do the North Devon ones over the Christmas break (weather permitting - it was raining so hard last time we were there, the photos were rubbish!!), and if we fancy a wander may even take in some of the rest of Devon over the holiday period. Talk about Pavlov's dog - my husband automatically stops now when we reach a churchyard or cemetery!!!

You're Top Poster: #4 | My mum is now known to take detours of approximately 30 miles in order to check out any minor churchyard now just to see what war raves are available and if there is a war memorial. its all Geoff and sniper's fault.

Yes that is the one: CWGC :: Cemetery Photos Unsure whether there is a headstone as well as the memorial. Hope you have some good travels.
