Here is Private McKinstry for KHP
It is very unclear - you might need to enlist Poll's help for improving it. The New Zealand Division has an apse to itself, so I'm including some photographs of that to go with Private McKinstry.

And the last couple for tonight. Private Fred Walton for xpq194z

Again, quite faint. The stone on these walls is very light coloured and the names don't stand out terribly well. But he is there.

Hi Jen
Thank you for the heads up on this thread.

I am so pleased you managed to find the time to get me the picture of Cecil (Sapper Wolstencrofts) grave.  Many many thanks. 

One day I'd like to go over myself, but it will be a while and I'm sure you can't get an idea of the scale of loss unless you've been. 

Thank you again, from both myself and Cecil Barrow Wolstencroft  :-*

Jen, sitting here very emotional ...... thinking of my ancestor and all the NZer's that lost their lives, plus all the others that you have posted.

Thank you so much for taking them and for letting us ride along in cyber space with your journey.     

I will certainly take up Polls suggeston, so Poll if you are reading this you have my go ahead.

You are a star, gone out of your way and gone the extra mile to show us our ancestors resting place.

KHP :-* :-* :-*

PS, I will PM Poll as well

Thank you so much Jen. I had missed the new thread which is why I didn't say thank you earlier.

You have done a wonderful marvelous job. Thank you again so much.

I can't wait for Hubby to get home so I can show him

Hi Jen

Thank you so very much for taking the photos of Walter Ralph.

I agree with BettyofKent and others, a “thank you” just does not adequately express how deeply thankful we all must be for your time an effort.

You did such a fantastic job in finding and photographic all of the requests, you deserve a medal.

Again many many thanks
