Hi guys,

I`m off to Holland on friday for a few days. I`ll be at the above cemetery on Sunday. If anyone would like photos of a particular headstone please send me the details and it will be done. I have some poppies left over from some fundraising i was doing here in Ireland and i`d gladly lay one at the chosen headstone for anyone interested

Hello John

Thanks for the offer but one of my ladies in Holland but in which County in Ireland do you live?

I have a few Irish ladies awaiting attention when you arrive back home.
