    Just a reminder that I will be going to Leopoldsburg, Geel & Geel (Stelen) in late September. Unfortunately I won't have time to do any other cemeteries. I already have requests in for a number and will be happy to add more if required.

    Cheers - Robert

    Paul...are you still in need of the Cement House photo? If so I've probably got it already on my other HD as I think that I've already taken photos of all the WW2 graves in there (and in many of the other 'Ypres Salient' cemeteries).

    I'll have a look later if you still need it.

    Dave.

    Hi 8 PARA and welcome.

    I was there last September and due to a time constraint, was unable to complete the list I had to do for myself and some Forum Members. Can you bear with me and I'll check it before contacing you again later today.

    Regards - Rob

    There are too many I think for you do. I'll be going again later this year so don't worry.

    I'll ask some of the people who have just a small number, to contact you direct.

    Regards - Rob
