Photos of Commonwealth War Graves
I am seeking photographs of several Comonwealth War Graves of pilots that had served with 127 Squadron that I have yet been able to obtain.
1 - W/O Ronald George Lewis, Tripoli War Cemetery, Libya. 2 - F/Lt James Huntly MacDonald MacKinnon, Belgrade War Cemetery, Serbia. 3 - F/Sgt Reginald Sydney John Linter, Nicosia War Cemetery, Cyprus. 4 - W/O Thomas Barker Orford, Khayat Beach War Cemetery, Isreal. 5 - F/O John Lewis Ward, Khayat Beach War Cemetery, Isreal. If anyone has visited any of these locations or is able to do so I would be ever so grateful if they could provide me with the photographs I require. Thank you Andy |

Hi Andy.
Have you tried the RAF Association??? I am sure they have a photographic record of their crew's graves.

Re: Photos of Commonwealth War Graves
Hi Andy,
it's old topic but I'm able to help with grave photo of F/Lt James Huntly MacDonald MacKinnon, Belgrade War Cemetery if you are still interested. I need some time because of horrible winter here in Belgrade. Let me know. GT |

Re: Photos of Commonwealth War Graves
The CWGC used to run a service where they would get their local representative to photograph graves on request. I am pretty sure they still do it. There was a fee, but not very much. Worth asking.

Hello GT
Thanks very much for the offer. He is still on my list of photos required. I am not in a big rush so whenever you get round to it will be fine. Thanks Andy |
