If you have no luck, there is a photograph of his headstone here: http://www.twgpp.org....php?id=2591138. It will cost you £3.50.
I can't find Grandara on The War Graves Photographic Project site.

Morning James,

The problem with TWGPP is they are £3.50 each and when you are researching over 5,000 men, that can work out a tad expensive.

As I say above, no problem. If you are in the cemetery and have the time, Ok, if not, its not a problem.

Certainly, do not let it interrupt your plans or your holiday at all.

Have a most excellent time,

Regards,

Graeme
