Help Request :-- family being researched: BEKAERT
Belgian Military Grave for Gustaaf BEKAERT,
Hi, I am helping an elderly Belgian gentleman who is now unable to visit
Britain to complete his work obtaining photographs of all the Belgian
soldiers who died in Britain during World War 1. To date he has collected
21,716 named Belgian WWI war grave photographs. He believes there is a
maximum possible of about 23,000. So that's a good 94%.
He informs me that there is a Belgian Military Grave for BEKAERT, Gustaaf,
born in Gent, 25 Sep 1880, died at Harrogate 04/03/1915 and who is buried in
Grove Road Cem. Grave K. Border 273.
Would it be possible for one of the volunteer photographers to send me a
digital photo of the grave / headstone, and possibly a picture showing the
background setting? Rene informs me that for the collection he requires good
quality photos e.g. about 4 mbyte size as he shows them at a large
magnification. My early photos which I had reduced in size for transmission
had to be resent individually as I exceeded my email account limit.
I would be most grateful if you could help me support this project.
Any photos can be sent to my above email address
Many Thanks,
John Curtis
