I can see from all the above posts that your offer has attracted a great many requests which must be taking a considerable amount of you time so I will understand totally if you are unable to accept my request also. But if at all possible I would be extremely grateful if you were able to get a photograph of the grave details listed below

Dillonking & Alfred Smith

I am not sure if you have had a reply from the original poster but I do know from another forum there are a number of Dutch people who have taken photographs of many headstones in Holland.
If you have a look on WW2talk.com (you will have to register first to post) then you may find that the picture has already been taken, if you do not wish to register let me know and I will request them on your behalf.

Regards
Andy

Hi Andy

I have not as yet had any reply re my request.

I have just taken a quick look at WW2talk.com. It’s a huge site and will take some searching through it but it offers a very good chance of getting a photo of Edwin’s grave.

Many thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.

Alfred

John fantastic lead you gave me.

No photo to be found on web site but I did manage to contact a forum member who has kindly sent me the photo I was looking for.

To All,

I want to offer my sincere apologies for not having responded to any of the queries.   :-[

My little family has experienced some very tough crises these past 5 years and unfortunately the genealogy hobby was one of the fatalities. Hoping to pick it back up on a regular basis, and if anybody still wants me to try and obtain pictures for them, please do get in touch. As for the ones who have succeeded in getting pictures despite my inadvertent lack of cooperation: Yeah!  ;D

Kind regards

It keeps me off the streets ;)

Twenty years on this forum!

I hope your family is better now. One thing one learns when one does genealogy is that patience is an utmost necessity!  :)
