I appreciate WW2 likely to be bigger requests , bomber crews etc. have replied.

 

last chance offer, we are off at the weekend so any more requests from the area will try to add

 

Chaz,

If it's not too late and not an imposition, I have a friend who would love to see a photo of her grandfather's headstone. I believe the location is 7-8 km from Thiepval.

The REGINA TRENCH CEMETERY lies about 1.5 km north-west of the village of Courcelette. On the D929 (Albert-Bapaume).



Thanks for the offer!

 

will try , looking around driving 250kms for people at the moment.
one thing to remember is Thiepval memorial is partially closed as its being tidied up for the 100 year memorial celebrations.
this may also apply to other Somme memorials

 

Thanks for that Owen. Much appreciated.

...............................and a slight bout of embarrassment! Never thought to check that site.

 

Ive planned a route so if we can get near will get a few, usually give you a view or two of the churchyard./cemetery and a few views of the stone.

 

Much appreciated. Anything you can manage is fine. Enjoy your trip.
