Wargraves photographs
Having visited many cemeteries, memorials
and churchyards in the time I have been researching the regiment,
I have many hundreds of photographs of gravestones and memorials.
The table here
shows which ones I have formatted and are available as jpegs
and more will follow as time permits.
I would like to acknowledge Chris Collier,
who has provided me with close to 100 of the graves (with more
to follow I am told!), mainly from the Bedfordshire area. Also,
Michael Robson and Ralph McLean (of the South
African War Graves project) have photographed and forwarded
many of the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire men's graves from
the Middle East and North Africa, which are naturally harder
to get hold of, so may be of use to someone.
If you would like a copy of one of
them, please get in touch
with me and I will forward the photo. They are all in jpeg format
and vary in size, depending on what equipment was at the time!
If you have additional photographs
that you would like to make available to others from this site,
please contact me
and I will build them into the database with pleasure. As well
as the photographs, if you have catalogued them already, I would
greatly appreciate the index as well of course, preferably in
an Excel spreadsheet format if available. If they are not catalogued,
not to worry as just having them available would be great!
As with all the info on this site, there
is no charge for it as my wish is to make the information available
to those who need it but cannot get to it. If however you feel
you have benefitted from it being here (and can afford to of
course), all small donations are gratefully received and help
towards the expansion and continuing development of the site.
If the grave you want is not in the
table, try The
War Graves Photographic Project. It is a major collaborative
project with the Commonwealth
War Graves Commission (CWGC) to photograph all CWGC
graves and make them available to those who want them. There
is a charge for this service but I am told the response is superb
(although I have not personally used them, so cannot claim to
know either way!) and the quality is worth the cost.
If you would like to see where a relative
is buried but are unable to visit the cemetery, this
site will be of interest. Giving 360 degree views of
the cemeteries, it captures the essence of them more than still
photography can. Pozieres is the featured cemetery in the link
but have a look around for others.
