Have you knocked off much of Malta? I have an avenue I can follow as I know someone who is a keen photographer of old trucks there.

Could you please send me the South African listings again?

What's left in Singapore? Did Mark Lax sort that lot out for you? Has he cleared Iraq as well?

Final question - how's the running total going?

Mark did not get back to me however I will give him another try!

I have 12 of 14 at Kranji Cemetery

I have no images of the 207 listed on the Singapore memorial.

I have quite alot in the UK and numbers from France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

I have only been on this since halfway through last year so it is well too early to start counting.

If I win tattslotto, I will go on a world tour.

Thanks for taking the time to do that, Geoff. I have a friend going to South Africa around Easter time but I think she's in Cape Town for most of the trip.

Will get to work on the Maltese ones.

Hope Mark can knock a few off for you.

Hi Geoff
I can pick up Wokingham - Berks, Aylesbury & Wendover - Bucks and Hendon & Ruislip - Middlesex without a problem. Need to get a map out to see if any other adjoining counties are reasonable trips.

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
