War Graves in the UK - Surrey

Phil

All your chaps obtained, unfortunately as I went at reasonably short notice due to weather, I did not get a chance to comply with your requests for poppies I am afraid, However when I send you the photos I hope what we did will suffice.

Can you PM me your email address and I will send them in batches (51 in total)


Geoff

The majority of your chaps got, except for one whose headstone was being renovated! and also your man who was on the other side of the main cemetery. We couldnt find him, despite looking for over an hour in what we though was the right place!

You have 251 photos to come, plus another 14 of two memorials that I thought you might like which I wandered past yesterday!

I will email you

Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,

Thanks for getting the photos. It must have been a big day. Sorry that Reynella took so much of your time.

I see by the cemetery plans of Brookwood that St Bartholomews Avenue is bordered by sections 29,30 & 44,45.

Look forward to the email.

Hi Recce

I have some of them I think its finding them lol but if not I'm sure Andy does...

Cheers
Tom

 

Andy, we looked in Randalls Park cemetery and could not find Richard Wakeford headstone.

This is a very big place any ideas as every tree, plant schrub or stone is listed after someone......unfortunately the office was closed being a Sunday but will try again with a little more information

Lee

 

I think it will be a case of asking the office Lee, no exact details are listed that I know of.....If there's a number let me know and I'll ring them to see if they have a grave ref, unless they are open on any further trips.

Cheers for popping along Lee.

Andy

 

will try again in the next couple of weeks

 

Lee with it being a crematorium there may only be a plaque or a entry in a book if he was cremated.

If there is nothing a general shot of the crematorium would be great and if his ashes were scattered in there a shot of the area too.

Sos to be a pain mate
