Is Anyone Visiting Crete? Help Needed Taking a Photograph

[spencer2004]

Thanks Jo, was the writing on the headstone legible when you received your emailed copy?

Yes it was - they make sure of it when they take the photo I think - its at a much higher resolution than the example given on their website.   I can clearly read the inscription on both the ones i have from them.

Just to let you know.  I don't think the photographs of the cemetery on the link which was posted do it justice.  It really is in a beautiful spot,  situated on a level with Souda Bay and all the graves face towards the water.  It's a large bay with mountains on each side and the view from the cemetery is quite breathtaking.  I'm very pleased that you have managed to find a photograph of your Uncle's grave.

Veterans of the Battle of Crete still visit every year and hold a rememberance ceremony there.

Thank you Glenpenny for that lovely description of the Cemetery, I would very much like to visit.

Also, many thanks for all the help given by other members on this thread, I have now received the photographs which are excellent with the inscription on the headstone very clear.

Kind regards Carol.

Hi to everyone, I'm Norman, I run the Northernmemories web site. The images taken seven years ago in Crete were taken with a now primative digital camera with a limited capacity of memory, how times change!. The images were taken with rows of headstones and individual ones for my other web site, to detail and remember those who fell. I'll admit, I only took a few shots of the surroundings, to me the gravestones were the important part of my visit, every one should be remembered.

Regards to all,

 Norman.
