Hi Heather & Listers Just a quick introduction; I live in Cape Town, and have done since 1985, I was born in the UK although my Mother was South African (Hermanus) my Father was English. He was stationed in Johannesburg during WWII. From 1966 to 1975 I served in the Scots Guards, and moved to South Africa in 1979. The signature below will probably say it all, but I have been researching both Family History and Military History for almost 20 years now. I try to get out every 3 months or so, and cover between 2,000 and 3,000 kilometers photographing war graves, although I do short (300km) trips on a more regular basis. I hope to retire in 2006 and spend more time in the field. Although I started photographing War Graves a few years ago the database concentrated on WWI and WWII, this was followed by the Angolan War. I only started on Boer War graves in January 2005, and will have to retrace some of my earlier trips. Requests from certain quarters recently have resulted in certain Shirwrecks being included. I currently have 2,700 photographs on file. I am receiving support (non financial) from the South African Heritage Resource Agency, Commonwealth War Graves Commission, South African Militay History Society and the Veterans Admin division of the SANDF, as well as some local Academics.
