Please go to this thread to see all remaining requirements in England & Wales as Ireland & Scotland are now complete! http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/war-grave-photographs/22411-raaf-burials-uk-england-wales.html#post234745 There is 1 Aussie flyer from WW2 buried in 1 cemetery in County Antrim that I do not have a photo for.

Geoff, A general view only, I'm afraid. http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll119/dbf_bucket/WAR%20GRAVES/P1000762.jpg d
Cropped the image below - link here http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll119/dbf_bucket/WAR%20GRAVES/P1000781-1.jpg Thought you might like the empties removed from the photo. d
Hi Geoff, 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. D 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: http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll119/dbf_bucket/WAR%20GRAVES/P1000846.jpg Flight Lieutenant ALEXANDER WILLIAM FRASER D F C and Bar 404063, Royal Australian Air Force who died age 29 on 04 July 1944 Son of Alexander William and Rhoda Maria Fraser; husband of Margaret Fraser, of Millaa Millaa, Queensland, Australia.

Hi Geoff, Had a wee look for you - there's this thread on a forum dealing with Canadian war graves there in Co Londonderry; the chap took photos of them is a 'local' - worth a try? Best wishes, Diane oops link - http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/showthread.php?t=8879
