    Hello Everyone

    just a long shot but if anyone requires pictures from my local Commonwealth cemetery let me know. It is situated just outside the port of Esbjeg in Denmark and is called Fourfeld, that's the English version of the Danish name. There are over 200 graves there, mainly aircrew.

    Andy, not a long shot at all. I have one of my local casualties in Fourfelt. I have a photo pf the headstone, but it is only small, so next time your there I would appreciate a better one.

    hello Andy

    Welcome among us. It is a pleasure to have you with us.

    I am looking for a shot of a headstone in Aabenraa Cemetery. He is:

    MH Fleming, J20198, F/O, 1944/08/17, 433 Sqn, Row 5, Grave 15.

    Realize it is quite a distance away, but if you are going by....

    Thanks,

    phil

    Hello Andy

    Welcome to the party. I am not aware of there being any but if there are any female casualties they will find a welcome home with me.

    Best wishes

    Hi Phil

    I haven't forgotten about your enquiry of the chap in Aabenraa. If you haven't received the photo from somewhere else by the time, I will most likely be visiting the city in march or april 2010.

    Hi Phil
    That's no problem . I am at sea four the next four weeks so it will be a little while but I pass the cemetery nearly every day when I am day home so it's fine if you can wait a little while..There is a Danish website that you have probably seen , I think it's called Airmen.dk that has pictures of all of the graves at Fourfelt ...

    Hi
    If Kakob can't get there my girlfriend attends a course there once in a while so I will mail her lecturer and ask him to do the honours and mail me a picture and forward it to you.

    Hi Geoff,

    FARRINGTON, ALLAN LEONARD Coll. grave 4. 126. NORRE VORUPOR CEMETERY DENMARK VORUPOR should also be completed. It should be somewhere in the "wargraves in denmark thread". Otherwise i'll send the photos to you.

    Hello Geoff
    A thousand apologies for the delay in the Esbjerg grave photo. Unfortunately we have had about 30-40cm of snow for the whole of my leave period so the photo would only show half of it.I am away at sea again for 4 weeks now but will hopefully come back to better weather and try again.
