Hi,
Among the names quoted in both forum, some rest in the Valenciennes St-Roch cemetery I took photographs last week, I present some of them to you; If you want any other photograph, tell me the name (and the cemetery if it is in my sector).I do not know the Scottish regiments, and which cap badge is engraved on the stone, perhaps can you help me. When I take photographs of the Canadian tombs (easily recognizable with the Maple Leaf), I can make the same for the Scottish soldiers;
