I am preparing Thetford Grammar School's November 2007 Remembrance Service at present and am looking for some grave/memorial photos for use in the Commemorative Exhibition which runs in school during Remembrance Week. If anyone is in Naples War Cemetery in the near future please could you take a grave photo for me: Geoffrey Reuben Long, 254 Bty, 64 Field Regt, 1115163, died 7/10/43. Grave Ref.: III. H. 3 Grateful as always for any help. Many thanks. Best wishes, David
Hi David, I have registered with this forum specifically to reply to your post with some information which I hope may be of some interest to you. I have never visited this site before until a colleague of mine pointed out your post to me after I showed him my photographs from Naples war cemetery. On 12/08/2007 my parner and I visited Naples war cemetery so she could pay her respects to her great uncle who was killed at Monte Cassino on 22/09/1944. Her uncle was Lance Bombardier Peter Legg Curry Smith, 32 Heavy Field Regt., 876568. Grave Ref. I.K.2. Had I known of your request before I visited the cemetery I would have gladly taken some photographs for you. However, I do have several digital photographs of the cemetery and of Lance Bombardier PLC Smith's grave which I could forward to you if you wish. The file sizes of the photographs range from 476KB to 997KB. I also have a short (13 sec) video clip in AVI format (not very good quality), file size 4266KB. If you think any of these would be of interest to you and would like copies, please supply an email address to which I can send them. Best Regards, Trevor Hart
Trevor, Thank you very much for getting in touch, and for joining the Forum specially on account of my post. Very kind of you. I am sorry not to have replied earlier. I will send you a personal message with my email address. With best wishes, David
