Hi
Could some kind person please take a photograph of the headstone of 2nd Lieutenant Edmund Barnes Royal Flying Corps who was killed 27th January 1918 and is at rest in Grantham Cemetery Location 4 J 28. It appears that there are quite a few for the 4.J section all toll there are 114 war graves
Many regards
Alf from a very wet and windy Staffordshire

Hi Alf
If no-one is able to get this photo for you try this site
http://twgpp.org/
It is a volunteer project to photograph all the British war graves. I have done a search and they have a photo of your chap's grave in their database. They will e-mail a copy for £3 or post a hard copy for £5.
Hope this is helpful
Susan

I too was a volunteer Alf. I still think it a very worthwhile project.
