    Ditto!

    My project wasn't on my mind when I was in Papua New Guinea through the 90's

    Now I need photos in three places.

    Lae Memorial (144)
    Lae War Cemetery (148)
    Port Moresby (Bomana) War Cemetery(189)
    Port Moresby Memorial (123)
    Rabaul (Bita Paka) War Cemetery (57)
    Rabaul Memorial (95)

    756 in total. (about 30% of what remains outstanding)

    I will have to fly up there again one of these days however it is not as hosptable as it once was!
    Spidge,



    My project is the collection of over 11,200     Headstone/Memorial photos of RAAF/RAF Aussies located in 67 countries during WW2 and 360+ from WW1. Can you assist?

    Hi Paul,

    Good to see you are knocking them off.

    I will be spending 4 days in France getting mine next year as they are the most difficult for me.

    Not a huge amount to get in the UK except a few in Scotland and about 40 in Wales, Belgium is complete, a few left in The Netherlands, 244 at Rheinberg in Germany which completes the 1400 there.

    Will start my website soon - fingers crossed.

    Cheers

    Geoff

    Hi Geoff, When you have finalised your trip let me know which cemeteries you are visiting as I am sure that you will be visiting cemeteries that I have requests for. Belgium is also complete for me with 3 from the Netherlands. Good luck with your web site.
    Cheers
    Paul
