War Graves-Italy

Now I have got my act together I wonder if anyone is able to assist with pictures from the following cemeteries. Pictures of the headstones and a few general views of the cemetery would be appreciated.

It would appear that I neglected to request these when I was going through my lists!

Hi Sicily43,

Buon Natale

Thanks Sicily43,

Please do not make a special trip for me for the Syracuse headstones. If you are going down that way in the future it is okay. I only added them as they were in Sicily.

The 7th of January is my birthday so I will have a drink for you then.

Mi auguro che si dispone di una grande e fantastica vacanza di Capodanno!



Cheers

Geoff

 

Tomorrow if the weather is ok I will go to take the photos.................ciao

 

I just print the list

 

safe journey.

 

I believe I sent the photos ANDYBALDEAGLE wanted from the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Padua, Italy yesterday morning. I haven't heard anything back as of yet, but will assume they arrived by email. I posted a similar message under a similar thread - that being - I can make myself available from time to time for specific photos at the same cemetery for others, and possibly gather similar photos or data around the Padua, Italy area for anyone dropping me a message. You may want to try my SKYPE, MSN Messenger or email instead of leaving a message here, for faster responses from me.

Anyone wishing a copy of the photos I prepared for Andy, can have them sent by email in a moment's notice.
