    Hi Andy,

    Perhaps there are graves at the Schoonselhof Cemetery (military section)in Antwerp, Belgium. Send me names and units and I will take a look and send you the photos.

    Afternoon

    Just joined Forum and saw this post, I don't have a picture of George Noble's grave but I do have a report of his death and funeral in 1947. Tragic 'roman candle' over Wiltshire. I should be able to get his gravestone at some point for you.

    Andy,

    Really sorry, evidently not.

    I went for one of mine and took all I could see. There is a War Graves section but theres loads scattered around and I had a drive about taking all I could see.

    Unfortunately I did not take a CWGC list with me so did not know how many were in there.

    If it was a private headstone I would not have seen it which may be the answer.

    Sorry,

    Regards,

    Graeme

    Hi Tom

    Sorry about that, never give it a thought till I got there. I downloaded a map of the cemetery and it showed a 'War Section'. I stupidly thought the war dead would all be in this section. I was wrong !!

    Will bear in mind if I have to go back (my picture of the headstone I wanted was c**p) but it is absolutely miles away.

    Regards,

    Graeme
