No longer actively seeking to fulfil photo requests, will only do if I am visiting a cemetery for other reasons.

Been researching my family tree for years, locating the final resting place of ancestors, to say 'hi you are not forgotten'.

Also like to add records of local cemeteries, for others who may not be able to visit, or just because they become worn and illegible or suffer vandalism, so recording them now will save them for the future and some are beautiful sculptures in their own right.

The site is called Find A Grave and not Find A Headstone, my request photos reflect what I find at the plot, many families did not have the finances to bury their dead, far less pay for a headstone and the further back you go fewer people could read or write, so an inscribed headstone would be meaningless to the family.

If I add a photo that you requested and you don't see the connection, please read the photo caption before sending a message, thanks.

I take many photos, please ask if you wish to use them to add to another website.

Find-A-Grave does not hold photographs for its memorials, volunteers have to go take them.

The FAG memorial number is not the plot number, so in large cemeteries without a plot number the grave will be difficult to find and impossible if not marked.

Where burial records are free to search, I will look the plot numbers up, but I do not have finances to look up pay for view records.

Please if you add a memorial make the information as accurate as possible, if you don't know leave blank, as others will think you have done the research and request a photo of a grave which may not exist.

Veteran Status

Please be aware that I do not consider Commonwealth Casualties of War to be Veterans although this is something Find A Grave would like, it is not something that is accepted in British culture or by our country. The CWGC have responded to this question as follows:-

"The Commission does not refer to those we commemorate as 'veterans'. We usually use the term 'war casualty ''that we commemorate''', or more pertinently, 'war dead'.

As you had mentioned, a 'veteran' usually applies to those surviving the war or conflict they took part in. As we commemorate those who died in the two World Wars, we do not refer to them as 'veterans'."
