Peter and Sheila Coates visited the continent every year for 4 years, using their 3 weeks summer holidays to visit 310 cemeteries. During this time they have photographed ALL of the graves and the plaques of the East Yorkshire Regiment.
This has created a collection of over 6,000 photographs of the resting places of soldiers from the East Yorkshire Regiment who died during WW1.
They have also visited and photographed the Tower Hill Memorial, Plymouth Naval Memorial, Portsmouth Naval Memorial and Chatham Naval Memorial which gives us access to approximately 80,000 names of Mariners who died in WW1 & WW2.
