    Hi all,

    I`ll be going to the above on Friday. I was there last week and took 900 photos. I`m going back to finish taking all the grave photos. If anyone requires pics please let me know.

    Hi John.
    Would you mind (if you don't already have it) taking a picture of Lt. Meikle's grave.
    He was from Hornchurch, where I live, and despite visiting Arnhem and Oosterbeek cemetery a couple of times I never took a photo of his grave.
    He was one of 3 brothers killed in WW2 and they are listed on our local War Memorial.
    Thanks for the offer by the way.

    A bit difficult to see on black marble but attached a photo of the 3 Meikle brothers on my local War Memorial.

    Hello,

    I am looking for pictures of Lt. Skinner's and Spr. Lennox Anderson graves, both of the 261st Field Park Company, Royal Engineers. These would be used in the forthcoming book about them.

    Actually, I am in interested in all of the Royal Engineers there.
