Hello.
I hope my first post isn't going to be asking too much. I'm looking for some help to find a photograph of a War Grave of a family member which is in the Minturno War Cemetery in Italy.
Is there any website online which may have photographic records of War Graves abroad? I know there is a telephone number on the CGGC website for the graveyard but does anyone perhaps know an email address of someone who would deal with enquiries for the Minturno War Cemetery?
I know it's a longshot but any information will be greatfully received!
The info of the family member is below:-
Name: SHANKS, ARCHIBALD
Initials: A
Nationality: United Kingdom
Rank: Guardsman
Regiment/Service: Scots Guards
Unit Text: 2nd Bn.
Age: 20
Date of Death: 22/10/1943
Service No: 2701027
Additional information: Son of Robert Wilson Shanks and of Violet Ellen Shanks (nee Jones), of Leven, Fife.
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: VIII, K, 21.
Cemetery: MINTURNO WAR CEMETERY |

Thank You for the information Paul!
I'll give the other website a go and see if anyone can come up with anything.
I was over in Italy in 2005 and went to Naples on a visit. If only I'd have known at the time he was in the war cemetery there I could have taken a photograph of the headstone myself at the time. 
Anyway, cheers again Paul!

Hi David,
Unfortunately I've not been able to get a photograph of my family members grave stone in the cemetery in Italy.
Thank You for your extremely kind offer to take a photograph for me. I'd be most grateful if you could!
I've private messaged you with my details.
All the best David!
