    Hi
    Polish Graves from burial sites around the country. If I come across them I will photgraph them all and upload them to the link below. Feel free to download them, they have not been reduced so you should get a good copy, if not, let me know and I will send it one to you.

    Hi Robert

    I have no interest in the Polish except that they are war graves. As a hobby I take photographs of war graves and pass them on to whoever would like them, free of charge of course. As you are aware the Polish war graves are not listed with CWGC and therefore it is hard for people to locate, sometimes, where the graves are.
    All the best,
    Alf

    I intend to go to Breda in the Netherlands in late October for the 65th Anniversary of their liberation. 1st Polish Armoured Division were the liberators and there are quite a few buried there in a number of cemeteries. I will take photos and pass them on.

    Regards - Robert :poppy:

    Hi lads,

    If you have Polish war graves photos and want to see them utilised, then send them to Jos Avalphen who maintains a Polish war graves website.
    I've had contact with him several times submitting pictures and he really does his homework on the casualties.

    Cheers,
    Derek.

    Hi,
    I know there are at least a couple of Polish wargraves in Hornchurch, Essex from the time there was an RAF station there. I could easily get some photos of them if that would be of help. I will pop out and do that a bit later.
