The story of the abduction, in 1944 from Crete, of General Kreipe, and of "In the footsteps of heroes", two expeditions in Crete remembering and honouring both the Greek and British heroes involved in the original         operation -a project inspired by a reading of the account, Ill Met by Moonlight,  written By William Stanley Moss. Please bear in mind, for reasons that will become clear, that the website is a 'work in progress'

The War Grave Photographic Project

To quote from the home page of the War Grave Photographic Project, "The aim of The War Graves Photographic Project is to photograph every war grave, individual memorial, MoD grave, and family memorial of serving military personnel from WWI to the present day and make these available within a searchable database."

I have had a very small part in this project from its first incarnation when along with some friends we tried to photograph the headstone of every known serviceman buried in Souda Bay C.W.G.C Crete.

A couple of years on, and after many thousands of photographs taken by my many fellow Devon volunteers and I later, we have nearly covered the 5000+ in Devon.  However, there are still many locations in the UK and around the world where graves  and individual memorials have yet to be photographed.

Please visit the project website to learn more about the project, to trace relatives - or to see what may be involved in assisting.
