I was one of the engineers from 4ESR who fixed up his grave site. It was a fantastic project, the grave yard was very run down. When we left Africa it was still in great shape, I hope it is still to this day. I have some good pictures of the site!

Nice work! If you would be willing to upload them to Wikipedia it would greatly enhance the article? I can help if you like. Contact me either by email or my talk page Kernel Saunters (talk) 09:07, 9 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Query re photo

edit

Hi folks, I am not a Wikipedia editor, just providing important info on the entry for Lt. (later Col.) Alexander Dunn, Canada's first Victoria Cross winner: THE PHOTO WITH THE WIKIPEDIA ENTRY IS NOT THAT OF ALEXANDER DUNN. The photo used is actually of Col. John Douglas, commander of the 11th Hussars at the Charge of the Light Brigade and Dunn's superior. If you check for photos of Col. Douglas, you find the photo used to illustrate the Dunn entry. There are a few photos of Dunn available (although nothing nearly so grandiose as the Douglas photo). I hope someone reads this, confirms what I am saying and makes the change. A brave, fascinating man deserves to have the proper photo with his Wikipedia entry. Thank you. (signed) Alan Parker (alanparker33@gmail.com). 135.23.84.162 (talk) 17:47, 18 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
