My great aunt's first husband was killed and according to CWGC he is buried in Tyne Cot and his name is on panel 54 to 60 and 163A. I would love to visit and maybe sometime in the future I will. The memorial has featured today on BBC hence this e-mail. It brings it home when you see the wall and all it's panels what a tragic waste of young men. I have several family members who lost their lives in WW1 but only one as far as I know in Tynecot. Do you know of organisation who visit on a regular basis and would be willing to take a photograph for me of the appropriate panel ?

Regards Michele
