Subject: BS: Any Mudcatters in France:Albert/Pozières
Hi all,

My father told me that his uncle was killed in World War 1 in France and he is buried at the war cemetery at Pozières near Albert, which is near Amiens.

I can't see myself going on a trip from Australia to France in the near future - maybe in a few years I might get there - but my Dad, who will be 81 next week, has been asking whether we can get a photograph of the grave.

I know this is an extremely big request, but if any Mudcatters happened to be in the area, perhaps it would be possible to stop at the cemetery and find the grave and take a photo. I have the Plot details, so it wouldn't be a matter of trying to find the grave without proper information.

If anyone can help me I would be prepared to offer something in return, e.g. perhaps I can find or supply information or something from Australia.

If you know of a way that I can get a photo, or have any ideas of who I could contact, I would be eternally grateful.

You can send me a PM (personal message) or put your comments, ideas etc in this thread.

Thanks,
Helen
