Kathi,

Welcome to the Great War Forum
I shall be pleased to help out in any way that I can
However, as I understand the situation, for security reasons there is a minimum number of posts that a new member has to make before they can use the forum's Personal Message system.
I will contact the Administration to see how we can get around this and exchange e-mail addresses

with best regards
Michael

Kathi, that link is unreal. I have never seen so many headstone photo's in one place of my wonderful Londoner's. Thank you.

Cheers Andy.

Thanks Andy
If you have any specific headstones you would like photographed, let me know.  It is a beautiful and fascinating cemetery with many stories, and I would be happy to help anyone wanting photographs.

The words that moved me the most when I visited Beersheba in November 2008 were:

FAREWELL DEAR HUSBAND
YOU SLEEP WITH THE BRAVE
IN A DISTANT LAND
OVER THE FOAM

I took a picture of the words (but can't for the life of me work out how to post a picture on here).  Rather foolishly I did not take a shot of the entire headstone.
