If anyone has an interest in the below victims of the great war, please can
they contact me off list.
If anyone is on any other list which may cover the areas that these men
originated from, could they please forward the message.
The reason I ask, is that the men are commemorated on a war memorial in
Baku, Azerbaijan, and I will be travelling there in September. I will be in a
position to photograph the memorial, and to leave any personal messages there as
well.
