Hi I was hoping that someone may have access to the French Memorial. I would love to get a photograph of my Dad's uncle's memorial plaque. His name was Pte Arthur Leonard Army Number: 4461 Unit: 26th Btn Memorial Panel: 108 I have been looking for a site that may have these photos on it as I live in Australia but to no avail. If you are able to help send me a message and I will give you more details. Thanks

I tried the British War Memorials Project site for you but they currently don't have a picture of this particular memorial, and, I understand, are not at present accepting requests for photos not yet held by them. Sorry. You could perhaps put a request on the 'Photo and Document@ request section of this site: http://1914-19 18.invision zone.com/forums

Katrina, click on http://www(.)cwgc.org search records fill in relevant information on Debt Honour Register this will take you to your relative Arthur Leonard, when you click on his surname it gives you his details. At the buttom click on certificate this gives you a coloured pic of the French War Memorial.plus his details. If you click on War Memorial/cemetery plans you can also get a sketch of the Australian National Memorial . Let me know if you are still having problems and I will email details to you bye Helen

It should work if you try http://1914-19 18.invision zone.com/forums/ and remove the two spaces from the address.
