    I'll have a bash at these, if I can. Kilcullen Ballitore church is on the road to Athy Co. Kildare. I might be down that way soon. Limericks a bit of a journey but I'll see what I can do!

    Hi Ger,

    Thanks for the offer, you know anyway there's no hurry and no pressure. :)

    Hi Gerard,

    There are three who served with the North Irish Horse in World War I who rest forever in the Republic. If you or any other is able to photograph the headstones I will be most grateful.

    I now have only 5 RAAF lads left to complete in Northern Ireland.

    Gotthard has been good enough to get me those at Drumachose & Limavady in Derry with another pledge coming to fruition for Killead Presbyterian & Killead (St Catherine).

    These are the remaining burials I have yet to have photos for and would be grateful if someone is able to complete them for me:

    Just been around Lisburn cemetry.

    There is no one specific military plot, but there are quite a few military headstones.
    Unfortunately I could not find Messrs Bradshaw and Fraser.

    I shall enquire with the council as to the exact layout of the cemetry (no plans or markers on site) and get back to you

    Spidge

    I'll try and get down to Bally halbert in the next week or two also
    Yours,

    Hi Capt Bill,

    Thank you for your efforts.

    Lisburn is proving to be a difficult catch.

    Capt Bill,
    Hi from Moira!
    Just wondering if you think then that these guys have family headstones ...

    I found one cwgc entry in Rostrevor in this category.
    http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/war-cemeteries-war-memorial-research/14078-george-lysaght-hosford-steede-rafvr.html

    Hope the council come up with the goods, for it would then be a matter of walking the rows ... :unsure:

    Diane
