Re: Volunteers Needed For War Grave Photography
Kate,
Thanks for the offer. If you could manage the photos it would be a great help.
According to CWGC registers there are 11 war graves in the Benalla War Cemetery and 5 more over the road in the Benalla General Cemetery. Their names are listed as the following:
War Cemetery:
BELL, Ernest
BOEKENSTEIN, Olaf
DODSON, Cyril
DOWER, John
GRAHAM, Frank
MONTGOMERY-MORTIMER, John
O'DOWD, Vincent
SCHAFFER, Geoffrey
SHANNON, Mabel
SILLITO, Edward
THORBURN, Murray
General Cemetery
ANDERSON, Finlay
GREEN, James
HANLON, Harold
RICHARDSON, George
SOWTER, Noel
I hope this is enough to find them. The registers have more details but it would be a little long to transcribe here. If you want all the info let me know and I'll send you a copy. I've found that if you have difficulty finding a grave then speak to the caretaker - they are usually more than keen to help.
Thanks again,
Tim.

Happily on the sun or feel the rain
Without remembering how they who went
Ungrudgingly and spent
Their lives for us loved, too, the sun and rain?

Re: Volunteers Needed For War Grave Photography
Thanks for that Tim, will be great help. The caretaker at Benalla is a great bloke, who is always willing to help out, so will get him to take me on a tour. Will get photos to you as soon as I get them done.

Re: Volunteers Needed For War Grave Photography
Hi Tim,
I believe there is a CWG section in the Bairnsdale Cemetery. I don't have a digital camera, but I'm prepared to take 'ordinary' photos, scan them and send them to you if you let me know if there are in fact graves you want located at Bairnsdale.

Re: Volunteers Needed For War Grave Photography
Hi from Cape Town, South Africa. I have submitted some pics to Matt Smith, but I am going to redo them and cut them to CD in a better scale. I will take care of Simonstown, Plumstead and Maitland and hope to organise others soon.
I am actually archiving South African graves for a similar, non-commercial, project. If anyone would like to pass ANY South African War Grave pictures to me I would be most greatful.
Regards from Cape Town
Colyn
