Thread: War graves and memorials site

elanter · 17-09-2008, 02:06 PM

I don't know if this has already been posted but I've just come across another site for war graves and memorials. This one lets you add photos of a cemetery or a relative, even a dedication.

I came across my great uncle's grave in Bus-les-Artois, France.

Hope it's of use to someone.

Thanks for the link Elanter.
It's good that families can add photo's and memorials for their loved ones.

Hope someone finds it useful.

Actually a bit off course, but the photos got me thinking about all the old wedding pictures I have with extended, unknown relatives and in-laws. Wouldn't it be nice to have a site where we could put some of our old family photos and perhaps put in requests. Not sure if if would be viable though.

I've seen quite a few sites were people have posted their photo's and requested details of the people in them.Some with quiet a bit of success in people identifying relatives.
