World War One / Re: Netley Military Cemetery - Royal Victoria Country Park Southampton
« on: Saturday 20 November 10 13:37 GMT (UK) »
Hello again,
As promised I visited Netley Cemetery today, and while there I photographed your Great grandfather's grave, and I have attached a copy of the photograph to this message for you - I needed to re-size the photo in order for it to be acceptable on the board, but if you would like a copy the original size I am happy to send it if you can provide an e-mail address (the original is 12MP, and just over 5Mb).
The photo is geotagged, so if you have a Mac you can go straight from the photo an aerial view of the cemetery. You might be able to do something similar on a PC these days, but I'm not sure it's quite as simple on that platform.
All the very best,
Tony

This family history thing is so addictive - I found out that I had this relation only 3 days ago, and then discovered where he is buried only today - so I just have to go there tomorrow!
In searching for the location of the cemetery I came across your post so I figured I would help out, as I'm going there anyhow! I'll be in touch tomorrow...

I just discovered that I have a relation buried in this cemetery - I came across an In Rememberance document from the funeral when I was visiting relations last Tuesday.
I have since also found that you can obtain photographs of the graves online if you wish, and a donation of 3 GBP is suggested to help "The War Graves Photographic Project" - Paypal accepted.
A low resolution image of your Great Grandfather's grave marker can be found here - http://twgpp.org/information.php?id=1705938
I will probably visit the cemetery tomorrow and will take a photo of your Great Grandfather's grave marker incase you do not yet have one (it is only a few metres from the one I am visiting, so it is no hardship!)
Regards,
Tony
