REMEMBRANCE: Seeking photos of servicemen

I am acting on behalf of the authorities at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery Busan, South Korea, where more than 800 British servicemen are buried

The authorities wish to obtain photographs of the servicemen interred there, and also of those who died but have no known grave (over 200).

Copies of the photographs will be placed in the men’s records and displayed on the walls of the Cemetery Hall of Remembrance.
