Congleton War Memorial Project

Hi All

As already posted on the introductions page, i am researching Congleton War Memorial and plan to publish a book where the proceeds are going to a forces charity to help returning forces personnel when they return from active service. Thanks to the Asian War Graves Project run by Tony i have got all the war graves and memorials from Asia. I now need help to get the rest i need to finish off this part of the project and i'm hoping that some of you will be able to help me to help these brave men and women.
Here is the list of the ones from WW2 that i still need, if anyone can help please can you let me know via this thread. Anyone who helps will have the credit and their name will be listed under the photo in the book.

If anyone can help please send the photo/s to the following email address please.

Hi Clive,
Many thanks for the photos and links. Just trying to work out if i can edit these so that the photos just just show the name and a couple either side if it.
Mike

 

Mike.

If you could isolate the ones that you need for Minturno, Cassino and Anzio, I will get them for you in Oct. The two cemeteries at Anzio are Anzio and Beachhead.

Thanks Peter for the information, always useful to confirm what i have heard.

Huge thanks Paul for the one in S. Africa. That was going to be a difficult one to get but you have really helped. I'm heading to Milton this coming weekend and will get the one you want from there. Are there any others you need in Oxfordshire or Berkshire? Not forgetting i have all the war grave photos in Shropshire, your welcome to any of them.

Thanks to Minden 1759 for the photos from Cassino War Cemetery which is now completed.

Apologises for my lack of being on the forum and my lack of communication to those who have contacted me asking for some photos from various cemeteries but i have not been too well lately. Hopefully i will be back to my usual self over the next couple of weeks and back to helping those that i can. Thank you all for your patience.

Regards
Mike
