    3. If any kind listers are planning visits to the battlefields in Northern France, is there a chance someone might be willing to take one or more grave photographs for me? I need some photos for a non-commercial project from a number of different cemeteries. With one exception there is just one grave in each cemetery. If anybody could help with even a single photograph I would be most grateful. I have asked CWGC in France to recommend a local photographer I could pay to have these graves photographed and was basically told to get lost because I am not a relative. The photos are needed to complete my website dedicated to the Royal Field Artillery in Worcestershire. I have a picture of the headstones for all but one of the fallen in France, Flanders, Italy and the UK and want to complete the project. A number of French graves are needed to complete the job. Unfortunately (?) I now live in Tenerife and the chances of getting to France myself are now almost nil. If you have a relative who fought in the Worcestershire artillery during WW1, may I invite you to visit the tribute website at www.dennicorbett.com/241.html. You can check in the alphabetical lists if we have him listed. The website is backed up by a database detailing the almost 2500 men in the 1st/2nd South Midland Brigade (later 241 Brigade) Royal Field Artillery. If he is listed, contact me and I will let you have any information I have on him. If you know he was in the brigade and I do not have him listed, again please contact me (but be prepared to forgive me if I get excited!) There is no charge for any information I can let you have, my duties as historian for the brigade are completely voluntary. Please note that I do not hold information on "the Worcesters" meaning the infantry of the Worcestershire Regiment. This is purely an artillery project. Thanks Dennis Corbett Historian 2nd South Midland (241st) Brigade, Royal Field Artillery. Website http://www.denniscorbett.com
