Tony Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) The pics are great Jason, you are very lucky to have them.Is the cemetery at Beaudesert civvi or military? Just re-read, his mate is from Beaudesert and the cemetery is probably elsewhere.If you have more please keep them coming.Tony Edited December 8, 2005 by Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 Hi Tony, actually the cemetry shot was taken over in Palestine in a military cemetry. Unfortunatley I have no idea where it's actually located, there are no notes on the back.cheers Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Gregory Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Jason,This is great stuff and I would love to more if there is any.I would like to visit my Great-Grandfathers grave, which is probably only his name on a memorial, but I am still not sure whether he is remembered in Jerusalem or Gaza, as two men with exactly the same names, but having different service numbers and from different regiments, died there within a week of each other. When I have found the information I need, I would like to visit his grave/memorial in 2007, 90 years after he was killed. As far as I know, no other member of the family has been before.If his grave/memorial is in Jerusalem, then it should be fairly easy and safe to do. If he is remembered or buried in Gaza, I might wait a few years until things have quietened down there.In the mean time, images such as the ones you are showing are fascinating and prompt me to find out more about my Great-Grandfather and the time he spent in Palestine.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
