Hi Peter

Can I ask, is the photo a 'one off' or do you have others ?

I'm after

Pte. 3710 Henry James BROOM Grave I.O.7 and
Pte. 66608 William DAKER Grave I.J.5

If you can help at all,

Many thanks

Graeme

Rob, place your cursor over Peters name, should turn from an arrow to a hand. Leave it there (dont click) and a window should appear with his profile with a 'send message' box. Click on that and away you go :thumbsup: good luck, Sean
