I have PM'd a Mod to see if we can get the post "stickied".

Mancsman - those pictures are heartbreaking  :'(.   Apart from being totally disrespectful to the memory of the two men who gave their lives whilst doing their duty, how can our City's history and heritage be treated in this way?  I have just downloaded your ebook and very much look forward to reading it.

I am in on this one I live within a stones throw of the cemetery but I will not walk threw alone.
As long as other commitments allow I will be there as often as I can I have a camera if needed.

Apparently several off my relies are in the cemetery but alas so far I have not found the stones so this would be a great project.

Hi Cancan and Luzzu,
I will do anything I can to help, I live very near and visit Southern Cemetery a lot and that's in great need of repair, although work is streadily progressing. I've not been to Manchester General yet, but look forward to a visit.
Mancsman have downloaded your book and look forward to reading it.
Regards
