"12 November 2011 - Good evening - Just to let you know how much these are appreciated. The photo is of my grandfather’s grave; he died in an air accident while running the British air training schools in Southern Rhodesia. My father is still alive but has only been able to visit the grave once in the 1950s. He will be very pleased to have a recent picture and reassured to know that the plot is well looked after. Best regards "

"11 November 2011 - Many thanks for the very prompt response and for the excellent pictures. I would like to also thank you and your team for the project which is exceptionally helpful to those like myself who have tried to find out more about family who were lost in WW1. My grandmother was only 10 when her big brother went off to war but always remembered him till the day she died. She only knew that he had been killed in the Dardenelles. I am hoping to go to the Helles Memorial next year to pay our family respects. Once again, many thanks Best regards Terry Terry Emerson "

"11th Nov 2011 - I wish to say thank you for working on this wonderful project of taking photographs of the burial tombs and graveyards where our Canadian soldiers (as well as others) were placed to rest after their deaths during World War II. My uncle Tommy is buried in the Caserta War Cemetery in Italy. I was the first member of the family to visit his gravesite in the early 1970s while in Italy on a scholarship. I was touched profoundly by that visit. However, not all people have the opportunity to see the burial sites of their relatives. You both, along with others involved in creating a virtual connection to these sites, are offering a gift to all of us who remember the loss of these young lives. I never met my uncle. But my father, Arsène LeBlanc, who was overseas during WWII also, did not let us forget. Once again a heartfelt thank you. LEST WE FORGET. "

"11th November 2011-Many thanks for the photographs. I was delighted to discover this 'up to date' photo on your TWGPP site! Pilot Officer Edgar Whitaker was my Great Uncle - I have a photograph of his shared grave which was sent to my Great Grandmother by the RAF in 1945, along with a transcript of a letter from the RAF base Chaplain regarding the accident in which Edgar had lost his life - it was interesting to see the original wooden crosses had all been replaced by permanent stone memorials. Your site is a wonderful tribute to the sacrifice paid by those whose lives were lost. Kind regards "

"11th November 2011 - Thank you, somehow thank you doesn't seem enough to say! it is so lovely to be able to see what my uncle's grave looks like today. Over 20 years ago my aunt and uncle went over to France and were the only ones in the family to have seen the grave. I am compiling a book for my uncle on his brother and will put a then and now picture of the grave. I can't tell you how thrilled the family will be to see your fabulous photograph and what makes it even more special it will be in time for Rememberance Day. Thank you once again for the fantastic photographs, the one of the cemetery will go in my Family History file that I am compiling for my granddaughters who are 2 and 1 at the moment. Kind regards "

"04 November 2011 - Hello, Hope you dont mind me contacting you but I would like to say 'Thank You' so very much for the info on the website.I'm researching my family tree and was trying to trace a great uncle who the family believed was killed in Normandy,but buried in an unmarked grave.He was John George Lear,but the surname was misspelled as Lee.Thanks to the CWGC I found him,but was delighted / emotional to find your site and see his actual headstone,must admit I cried and felt so very,very proud of him.Would it be possible to use a copy of the pic to put on his family tree please? and to show my aunt who is 82 and always wondered what had happened to him.Once again thank you for your wonderfull site. Yours Sincerely "

"02 November 2011 - Many thanks for sending the photos. I got these for my mum. She'll be 90 next year and was engaged to David Bond in the war. Obviously, life moved on and she married again - which is where I come in! - but I know she still feels sad at her loss. I'd have liked to take her to see the grave but at her age it would be difficult, hence the photo. I had no idea they were available until a few days ago. She tells me that David was 23 when he was killed. It was on his 29th sortie - he was due home for leave after the 30th. What a marvellous idea the War Graves Photographic Project is, and what a fascinating tale must lie behind all those photos. Thanks so much again. "

"01 November 2011-Many thanks for the wonderful photos that arrived yesterday. But saying Thank You doesn’t seem to express fully how grateful we are for the wonderful service you and the team offer – but we do thank you most sincerely. The photos mean so much to us. Will post a letter later today but again for all you and the team do to provide the site and the photographs a BIG, BIG thank you and Our Best Wishes, Maureen and Malcolm Rogers Thompson. "

"29th October 2011. A big thank you for the photos which arrived today.As a small boy my grandmother spoke to me of her brother who was killed in action In the north African desert,now i know it was Tunisia.No one has ever known where his final resting place was.Now with the internet and the sterling work of the war graves photographic project we can actually see where he lies.In a beautifully kept oasis in the middle of the Tunisian desert among others who fell.Sadly his parents never knew or saw where he lay, all they knew was he was killed in action.A pity they never saw this,it would have been of some comfort to them.May i thank you all once again remembring the immense task of such a project and to all who give their time to record this part of history."
