WW1: RESEARCH HELP NEEDED

Photographs

We are very keen to receive photographs relevant to the people named on this website.  For example, we would like if possible to include a photograph of each man's grave or memorial.  The vast majority are of course in France and Belgium but some are scattered further afield, including in the UK.  We provide two lists below.  If you can help by taking a photograph in any of these cemeteries, please tell the DTI War Memorials Project.

Cemeteries/Memorials overseas (other than in France and Belgium) where photographs are sought

All the cemeteries overseas are in the care of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.  Full details of how to find the cemetery are given on the entry of the casualty concerned in the Debt of Honour Register.
