British War Graves Some time our hobbies become a passion. This is the case with me a few years ago, when, on a trip with Europe with World War II Veterans I came across my first British Military Cemetery.
The eagerness of the trip and the thought of being with the veterans exciting enough, but, heightening my interest was visiting, and photographing a British War Cemetery in the Somme France. As a young boy, my favorite reading material was world history of any type. The books would often contained photos, artists' renditions and battle descriptions and maps. The interest was enhanced by being told stories by my mother about the 2nd World War Years, and what she went through as a little girl while the men were fighting in Europe. Whenever possible, I would pick up a book, and, in my young mind, I would visualize great battles and the "courageous" the life of a soldier |

I started shooting photos in the Somme area in 2001, during that time I have snapped the shutter on my Cannon thousands of times. All of the photos I have are in either in a Slide or camera RAW format suitable for printing. In the future I would like to build a website that can show more of them in a database format. However until then I will post a few on this site and fill requests for photos in JPG format or High Resolution. There is NO COST for photos; I ask that if you use them for print you list my name as the photographer.
