I am off again on holiday in a week! This time if anyone wants any in the Canterbury, Kent, Military Cemetery.
I believe there are about 200  military gravestones there.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier but I've pictures of all the military graves in Canterbury Cemetery as well as all the churchyards in the area, quite a few of the villages and Herne Bay and Whitstable if anyone needs anything. Hope you enjoyed your visit Linda.
