    Don't thank me yet, as I am missing 3 names. I will check through the photos again, to make sure I've got them.

    If I have missed them, I can do them when I go to Holland next year. I am only a short drive from that cemetery.

    I also have a few more still to post.

    Regards - Rob

    Hi Ramacal
    You are definitely a diamond. I bet you have a photo that Spidge is looking for of an Aussie who is listed as a Brit. If you ask him I am sure he would be grateful if you do.
