Thanks for your offer.

I got Verrieres all bar three from Bayeux. Here is the link and the ones required are in black

I got him most of Normandy, including the one at Beny-Sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery.

Jim (Verrieres) has left the Forum I believe. Has not posted since Feb of 2012.
Only three

 

thanks for the heads up. will have to look to see what pics we got on hdd as the mother in law took loads of all KOYLI,DLI,SLI etc etc

 

Hi,
Just to bring you up todate I requested through another forum member a few weeks ago the three outstanding DLI from Bayeux for him so I believe thats complete now Rob did a fantastic job in getting him the rest.
Robs is right Jim has left but still runs his DLI website. I believe the outstanding headstones for the France 44 period are still;-
