    There is 1 Aussie flyer from WW2 buried in 1 cemetery in County Antrim that I do not have a photo for. If you can take photographs of headstones or know somebody that can, please let me know.

    Hi Geoff,
    :D
    Well here it is; not a cwgc headstone. As for finding it, well the directions were embarrassingly spot on. However, even if finding it was easy this time, reading it is another matter. The sun was shining here today! I will put up all the shots I took, judge for yourself.

    edit. BTW his grave is on the best 'real estate' here, the main path down through the cemetery.

    A cross in the cemetery, touch of Ireland for you:
