I am down to looking for photos of three graves, out of 826 known graves and memorial inscriptions for casualties of The Royal Canadian Regiment in the First World War.  Surprisingly, I have received all required photos from all six other countries in which these soldiers are buried and commemorated - but not yet all those in Canada.

The three I still seek are:

Sgt George William HARRISON in the Veterans' Cemetery (Esquimalt). A new and hopefully readable photo of the gravestone for Pte Robert Scotchbright would also be welcome.)

Lt.-Col. John D. DOULL in the Montreal (Mount Royal) Cemetery. (Fresh photos of the graves of Pte Clayton, Lt Roberts and Sgt Wilkinson would also be welcomed.)

Hon. Capt. A.J. FOWLIE in the Black River Cemetery. This one is a bit of a mystery, it has been confirmed he is not in the cemetery at Black River near Black River in north-eastern New Brunswick. The next possibility is near St Stephen, N.B., but I cannot offer more details at this time - the Commonwealth War Graves Commission database now records the cemetery as "BLACK RIVER (ST. STEPHEN'S) UNITED CHURCH CEMETERY."

Any assistance to round up these few remaining photographs would be very welcome.
