Brian, I may have thought of a quicker way to help. There is a newish poster on here who moved to a seaside town northwest of Caen last summer. This puts her less than 40 km from Colleville (the cemetery). She doesn't seem to come on here very often, but I'm in e-mail contact with her.
Quite likely she's not yet visited the place, so I'll ask her to read this thread and suggest she visit with a camera.
If that doesn't work out I'll still do it on the first sunny day after we arrive in January.
Cheers..

Absolutely right.

I am the new poster that Novocastrian is referring to. I work full time and have my weekends full for the next 4/5 weeks, however I would like to see the cemetery and help you out! Things should be quieter in December so I will try to visit then.
If somebody else visits the cemetery in the meantime please could you let me know (as I don't look at this site that often).
Clare

Hello. My name is Brian and I live in the U.S. I need a huge favor if anyone is going to the cemetery at Normandy. My Grandmothers first husband died at Normandy. We probably will never get the chance to go to France so i would like to ask if anyone could take a picture of his headstone & e-mail it to me.
His name is Baxter Stafford G he is in PLOT J ROW 11 GRAVE 6
I would be eternally grateful.

I am sorry for opening another thread. I did a search for 10 min. to find my original post using names & key words but had zero results. I did something wrong or something is broken but I did try. It won't happen again.
Brian.
