Hello, Me again, with yet another wish list. This time for Germany! If any one can get me photos of the following headstones or general views of cemeteries, I would be very grateful. I would also like to have photos of any Unknown Irish Guards graves if they are in the vicinity. As I am relying totally on the generousity of others, I should point out that I am quite happy to receive any photos and as time is usually a pressing matter, if someone can only take a couple photos for me I would understand that too. Please see next post for list. Thanks Diane Have left this thread title for Germany, not just for IGs, so don't anyone think they are hijacking it by adding to it. May be simpler this way, don't know, perhaps mods will give their opinions ...?
