Hi all, Just an update to say that i have contact through the forum, the forum admin is going to Tabarka in a few weeks and will try and take the photos for me.......dont worry spidge i said yours aswell.... ..many thanks to Owen....this forum you put me in contact with may be the solution to all these months of trying to find someone to photograph my uncles grave. Donnie
I don't suppose I can gatecrash this as well please.... please.... please I have one of my local lads buried there also Lt Robert Andrew Wharrier 1/Parachute Regiment KIA March 12, 1943 Tabarka Ras Rajel Cemetery 4. B. 9. Many thanks in advance Steve
i will see what i can do steve, i will have to get on good terms with the gentleman who is doing this.... Donnie
Since there seems to be such uncommon demand, I'll pin this thread so it stays more visible. Cheers, Adam.
Donnie I think this is the cemetery you are looking for on Google earth Copy and paste these into Google earth and then you can at least show your grandad where he is buried in the photo view from above and you pan out and look at the surrounding area Never ceases to amaze me what modern technology can do 36°57'12.78"N 36°57'12.78"N Regards Lee F
I will have to find some more Tunisian websites as I have 28 in five cemeteries or with luck, 27 in 4. <st1><st1>ENFIDAVILLE</st1><st1> WAR </st1><st1>CEMETERY </st1></st1><st1><st1>MASSICAULT </st1><st1>WAR</st1><st1> CEMETERY</st1></st1><st1><st1> MEDJEZ-EL-BAB</st1><st1> WAR </st1><st1>CEMETERY</st1></st1><st1><st1> SFAX</st1> <st1>WAR</st1> <st1>CEMETERY</st1></st1><o></o> <st1><st1>TABARKA</st1> <st1>RAS</st1> <st1>RAJEL</st1> <st1>WAR</st1> <st1>CEMETERY</st1></st1><o></o>
A new great result.....a lady hs kindly offered to drive to the cemetery tommorow and take pics......dont worry Spidge i have also asked her to do your guys aswell.........and Mr Steve Newman....yours has also been put down for a photo.... Donnie
I'd better not put my request on there! I have 88 of my Airborne chaps in Tabarka, and another 388 in 3 of the ones Spidge mentions. Oh well I will have to try and get out there for a holiday so I can do at least one of them! Regards to all Andy
yeah i think 88 is too much! well....you could always try down the same route that i did....maybe the CWGC will be more helpful with you. Donnie
I see a tour is going there next week. Poppytravel - Tunisia - 65th Anniversary Pilgrimage Cemetery visits to Massicault, Tabarka, Oued Zarga Medjez-el-Bab, Thibar, Beja and Enfidaville.
Thanks Owen, I sent an email to see whether they have photos or whether they would pass my request for assistance onto the people doing the tour. I will await the response. Possibly a flat "no" however if you do not ask...........................!
