    Hi, I went to Arbroath this afternoon, to try and find Gdsm George Lockhart, but there was no one there to help me so I walked around the cemetery for over 2 hours but could not find him - Sorry.

    That made it too late to go back to Kirkcaldy for Gdsm Brian Hill and to Dumfermline for WO1 John Newton.....

    But I did find a SSgt Alister Malcolm age 33 died 19/07/2001, no mention of how he died? Also there was a grave of a USMC soldier, died in the early 2000s, he was a young lad. There were also several RAF and a couple of soldiers who died in the WW2...

    I should be able to get to North Berwick tomorrow.

    Next Monday, I will be in Liverpool for a couple of days. Then the week after I will be at Stockton on Tees, Whitby and Harrowgate.
    Let me know if this will help.
    Cheers and sorry.

      Nothing to apologise for mate. There have been days when I've gone looking for a particular grave and come up empty handed. Unless we are in possession of an exact location .... grave section, number etc, a lot of it is down to luck.

        Took me two visits to find one grave and it was in s*** state, onwards and upwards, it’s a really satisfying thing to do.

              I've got no stickers left. I meant to grab some at the NMA but the memory let me down.
              Has anyone got any stickers to send Damo?

                  I think there are some in the PRI box, they looked quite faded but I'll check and if so, I'll send him some.

                      You could always try a sticker instead?

                                Good idea, put your address up and all you have to do is wait for the dog poo’s through your letter box
