"15th February 2012 - Just a quick note to say thank you for the photos. You've made my dad very happy. With very few details (and no understanding of the internet but a daughter who could guide him through !) he has not only been able to locate his uncle's grave but thanks to your amazing work, seen it. Best wishes, "

"2nd February 2012 - What can I say to you, I am absolutely over the moon that you have managed to do, what I have had so much trouble in doing.I have now at last got, not one, but three pictures of my brothers grave, something that I thought I would probably never get to see. You stated that I would have to wait at least a period of six weeks, aand you have delivered in just a few days.Thank you so much for your efforts, and also the honorable person who was kind enough to take the pictures at the Cemetery.It must give you a great sense of accomplishment and gratification when you are able to help people who are unable to get access to such important things. I cannot even begin to tell you how much this means to me, but I think you must know. So just in case you have not realised it yet, I am really , really grateful for what you and your honorable friend have done for me. My very best regards, and God bless you and your Honorable friend, Once again, many thanks. "

"24 January 2012 - How fantastic! Thank you so much for sending these, I really feel very moved. This is a relative (great uncle) I know very little about and even whose existence I only really knew of after I’d developed an interest in WW1. I remember being rather dismayed when I discovered he was in Gaza as, unlike many of the Western Front cemeteries I’ve visited, this was one that nobody in the family was ever likely to reach. But, having some photos is really nice. I’ve attached the one photo that seems to exist of him (he’s the one on the left). He was the oldest of 8 siblings and I’ve always been struck by just how WW1 cruelly ensured he’d be the odd one out. His brothers lived into their 80s, while his sisters died at 93, 97, 102, 106 and the final one is still going at 104 (…I believe). Many thanks again. It’s a great project! "

"14 January 2012 - WOW !!! What service... we are amazed, we were expecting a long delay and are so impressed. After all the years that my family did not have a photograph of the grave I am so pleased to have something to show them, we are trying to put together a family tree and this will help tremendously.I just know some of the boys in the family who have military experience in Rhodesia and South Africa are going to be very proud to see this photograph, after all the years of talking about my Uncle Bertie's grave. The last photo I can remember seeing as a young boy was sent to my father of the grave with just a wooden cross, but over the years it has disappeared, so this is a big bonus, and thank goodness for moden inventions, even though we are just muddling through and rely on children and grand children to show us the way !!! Many, many thanks for the work you are doing, it must bring clousure to a lot of families. Regards "

"11 Jan 2012 - Just thought I would send a quick e-mail to thank you so much for these images. It is wonderful for the family to have these images and information after so long. It's such a shame that my grandmother (Albert's sister) isn't alive to see them, as all they had was a picture of a wooden cross - and I am unsure now how they got this. I would love to some time in the future visit the Chungkai War Cemetery to pay my respects to Albert, but this image is fantastic for now. Regards "

" 4th January 2012 - Thank you so much and particular thanks to David, the volunteer, who took this photo. Many years ago, Williams neice, my aunt, told me the story of the inscription on Williams grave and I always thought that it was so very touching, whilst doing some research I just happened to come across your website after looking up the place of his death, Montbrehain. I am so delighted to have seen Williams grave, and the inscription, when his Mother obviously wasnt able to and to pass on his story to the other members of my family. Williams brother George was also killed in Belgium almost one year before he was and is buried at the Menin Gate Memorial in Belgium. It is genuinely touching to have closed off this final chapter of our families history and particularly pleasing that indeed some kind hand has left a flower at his grave. Your organisation is making a wonderful contribution to the lives of others. Thank you once again, "

"23rd December 2011 - A quick acknowledgment that both recent emails have been received, thank you. Coming at Christmas, the joy and celebration associated with photographs of war graves seems contradictory. Let me assure you, these graves have been seen by few of the extended family and even fewer of the direct family. When the first photos last week were shown around one would have thought that I was a conquering hero. This surely proves the worth of the photographic project. Speaking with a few of my friends, the project was not well known. I shall do my best to promote it and I shall not hesitate to bring Service contacts into play to ensure that it receives wide publicity. This will prove to be a God-send as we work towards the centenary of Gallipoli, a huge cause for reflection in Australia. Thank you to you and your colleagues. Rest assured your labours are not in vain. "

"14 December 2011 - Thank you very much for the photos. Here is just a little background for you for information which may be of interest. Harold was my uncle, my Mam, Ethel’s, brother. Sadly she died just over 3 years ago and she would I know have treasured these photographs as will I. His parents, Harold and Clara, who are mentioned in the War Graves Commission’s records, had another son, Charlie, who died a few years before my Mam. Charlie’s wife Florrie died more recently. He was in the Fire Service in Hull during the war. The notes I have found linked to records held regarding his death show him known as “Harry” but to the family he was known as “Lal” and he was much loved by his immediate family and also my Grandma’s brother’s family, particularly his cousin Dorothy. Unfortunately none of the immediate family ever got to visit his grave in Tunisia. I am sure that the TWPP will provide families in a similar position with something that will be a tremendous comfort to them and the information available from the War Graves Commission via the Internet is a fantastic resource. I would like to close by thanking you once again and wish you well in progressing your project. Kind regards "

"12th December 2011 Dear TWGPP Thank you very much for your prompt response. Can I say – what an excellent project you have there, I hadn’t realised this existed and what a great idea it is. So pleased to have found this, the resting place of my Great Uncle Leonard who I only know through my father’s childhood memories. My second son (to be born in April) is to be named after him and this will be part of his ‘history box’ I am making for him. Once again, many thanks and best wishes "

"5th December 2011 - Thank you so much for this. This is for my father who was not aware that his brother had a grave. He was told that he was presumed drowned. Ronald fathered a child who was born after he died. My dad was vaguely aware of this but was never told anything more. As far as he was aware there was no more contact with his brothers girlfriend/wife. Earlier this year the child managed to track down my father. Today my father met with his neice and learnt for the first time about this grave. Extremely emotional for him as you can imagine. I have also noted your address - dad lives in Rolands Castle so very local. It's the second time in my life that I have seen my father cry - the point where he saw his brothers name written down as confirmed to have a grave. Thank you so much for this excellent work that you do. Best regards "
