Hi Forfarian

There is not much chance of getting a photograph of a stone (assuming that one exists) if you don't know where to look for it. If I knew where it was, I could probably get a photo some time if I am passing by, but I am not about to offer to search every burial ground in Aberdeenshire on the off-chance of finding a stone which may not actually exist.
Nor would I ask you too - that is way to much to ask someone that you don't know :) Completely understand !!

Flattybasher - less than a mile from your home - I shall keep you in mind in case I get an answer from Forfarian's suggestions (forgot to thank you for them Forfarian !)

GR2 - didn't think of that - thank you :)

Thank you Forfarian - I wasn't aware of that website - had a look but unfortunately the Imlay I am looking for wasn't listed.

GR2 - thank you for your input. 
I have contact with you who's grandfather served with him - Amazing !


Any other suggestions of where I can look ? Have checked Find a Grave - no luck.

Aberdeenshire / Looking for a photo of Headstone of Alexander Imaly died 1959 Skene, Scotland
« on: Tuesday 09 February 16 08:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
I am in Australia & I am trying to locate a photo of the headstone of Alexander Peter Imlay (1885 - 1959).

He served in World War 1 with A.I.F. (Australian Imperial Force). He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order with Bar & was Mentioned in Despatches.

In 1921 he joined the Gordon Highlanders, British Army as Captain & in 1930 transferred to the Royal Indian Army Service Corps. He retired in 1937.

He was reappointed in 1940 as Major for service during World War 2.

He died on 23 April, 1959 at Skene, Aberdeen, Scotland, survived by his wife and children.

Can someone please point me in the direction of where I may be able to find out where he was buried?  and where I may be able to obtain a photo of his headstone?

Many thanks
Cathy

Hi jen56johns

My husband's grandfather, from Manchester, was wounded in 1915 & listed in "The Evening Chronicle" Manchester along with a long list of other wounded soldiers.

Hope this helps.

Wiltshire Completed Lookup Requests / Does anyone live near Bulford ??
« on: Monday 20 July 15 05:05 BST (UK)  »
Hello
I am trying to find someone who would be willing to take a photo of Bulford War Memorial for me or if they know someone that can help out please.

I have located one photo on Geograph.org by Chris Talbot but I need photos of the names on the War Memorial so that I can transcribe them for the Wiltshire OPC website
http://www.wiltshire-opc.org.uk/genealogy/

Trying to gather as many photos of all the War Memorials & Roll of Honour plaques inside the parish churches in Wiltshire  so that they can be transcribed.

Only one small problem - I live in Australia  :o

Thanks for reading this

Wiltshire / IMBER
« on: Thursday 16 July 15 05:18 BST (UK)  »
Is anyone visiting Imber in August ???

I volunteer on the Wiltshire OPC website & look after the page for Imber.

http://www.wiltshire-opc.org.uk/genealogy/index.php/parish-directory/item/210-imber
 
I am trying to find as many photos of the headstones that are in the Churchyard so that I can transcribe them & have a good collection of photos in  one place.

Unfortunately I live in Australia so taking my own photos is not possible.

I have found only about 10 photos of headstones on Find a Grave.

If anyone is going to Imber - would they please take some photos of the headstones - looking at trying to get them all. I will credit the photos to the photographer. Also I need them to be high resolution so that I can read them for transcribing.

Can anyone please help ??

Thanks Cathy

Hi Erato

Yes I had seen the inquest - thank you anyway.

This situation regarding Cpl Dorman has been ongoing since last year - involving input from 3 countries & now your involvement means 4 countries - Australia, England, America & Ecuador - all working to come to a final result of where Cpl Dorman was finally laid to rest.

Thank you again for showing me where to find a photo of his headstone
Cathy
