Good luck Colyn with all your endeavours. Although my g/father is not buried in a "war" grave, he did fight in WWII with the Transvaal Scottish regiment. I know that there's a picture of him holding me as an infant, in his kilt, tammie & sporran. He never would talk of his experiences at all, ever. He is buried in the Plumstead cemetery behind the sports grounds as you round the corner toward Southfield. He died whilst I was living in Canada, and it took me the longest time to be able to go & see his grave after my return. When I'd left for Canada, he said to me he wouldn't see me again, and I told him that I would be back, but within a 10 mos. he had died. Wouldn't H&P have Saturday hours in their office? If not, surely someone would be around all the time, given the nature of their business??? Kind regards, Coral Anna (Cartwright) Foster Mt.

There used to be a notice to this effect I think. The trouble is, most of my work ios over weekends and public holidays. However, in this case I will have to make a special trip as there are several graves I need to photograph. Thanks for your encouragement, it means a great deal.
