Thanks for your offer. Unfortunately, I can't take you up on it. The pics I want are in Normandy and near Albert, not in the Ypres sector.

However, I would like to bring a site to your notice:
http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/sub.cfm?source=collections/virtualmem

If you happen to snap any Canadian graves, you can post the pics at this site. Posting is a monitored process, but folk post all sorts of memorabilia there. To see an example, check out Charles Massie - he's my dad's cousin (and the one near Albert).


Is the Australian Farm that you're visiting the official name of the cemetery? - I can't find it at CWGC.
