Hi.

I am finalising a book on Turkey and WW2 that will be published next year. You have posted some interesting historical pictures. I was planning to return to Istanbul to visit what remains of the Çatalca fortifications but the pandemic stopped that. If you have either out of copyright or you own the copyright pictures I would be interested. My email is balkandave@gmail.com if you can help. Thanks.

Thanks. Yes, I follow him on Twitter, he posts a lot of excellent stuff around WW2. I think the height of the terrain is a bit exaggerated in the bottom picture, but it gets the idea over. I was quite struck by the high ground the Bulgarians fell back to after the Turkish Offensive in the 2nd Battle of Catalca. If anything a stronger position than the Catalca Lines.

@krocab if you are going to post links to your profile on other forums, make sure they are viewable by non registered members on that site, otherwise there really is no point at all

Hi and thank you for your message. Sorry I cannot help with any details re your great grandfather. We simply photograph graves of ex servicemen and women in order that they may be remembered. Occasionally, when time allows, we follow up with research and all that we found is listed along with the two photographs on this site . Good luck with your research.
Regards

Will do, stranded in SA at the moment, 6 weeks now, did a 9 week stretch at the start of the lockdown. Have already done 195 days in SA this year, normally only do 190 - to a couple of hundred each year. Got at least a couple of months to go I reckon. Won't be the last time either.

Hope, that you still exist - just wanted to say thank you for all that fantastic picture material you put on this site, it helps me a great deal to find out more about specific weaponry and what was in use in what times, heartfelt thanks to you my friend, awesome!!
