I can probably take care of the Mountain View Cemetery, Vancouver one this coming weekend.

Have you tried MLLP?  They probably have most or all of these, and might be willing to arrange a swap if you can arrange to fill in a gap for them.

I call dibs on that one. I drive by it all the time.

 

[Michael OLeary]

Thanks for the offers to take photos.

As for the MLLP, I am aware of it, but I've not heard too many good stories from people trying to deal with them  Long delays in responses, or photos not available, etc.

I'll take a shot at the two Winnipeg ones.

I'll see if my sister will take a picture of the one in Summerside.

I will check the Puslinch one this weekend.

Here's a bit of help when locating any grave.
Go to the Cemetery Office with your info and they will pull out the registry with the plot info and then they refer to the map and give you the info and then off you go trying to find the plot you aresearching for.

I have helped with searching WWI grave site's at Mount View I was amazed at how many WWI marker's that are there.

 

[Michael OLeary]

Thanks for all the offers to take photos when the opportunity allows.

For a start point on locating the graves, when the Grave Ref was available from the War Graves Commission, it is included in the tables  found in the individual cemetery pages linked above.

I visited Pte Mutch this AM around 0830. Sorry about the quality. It was overcast at the time. Became sunny after I left. Milnet will not let me upload the file. Says it's too big. Perhaps I should e-mail it to you directly, Mike?

That's not a great photo. I'll try again when the weather is better and get a close up of his name.

Photographing the stones, which range in colour from white to medium grey, can be very tricky depending on the light.

Any photos can be sent to me by e-mail at regimentalrogue@gmail.com.

Thanks.

Michael,

I'm currently posted to SHAPE in Mons Belgium, and have been to many of the Belgian and French cemetaries listed on the linked site.  Visiting CWGC's has become a standard weekend pastime for me and my family, and if you wish, I should be able to provide a bunch of pictures from this part of the world.

I'm happy to say that I have received photos from both Canada and overseas for this project.  My thanks to the contributors and to anyone who is waiting for a chance to take a few photos.

I have also posted a similar request on the Great War Forum seeking photos of the graves of 33 Royal Canadians in 26 UK cemeteries.  In three days I've received photos from 10 of those cemeteries.
