Musings of a Curious Individual: September 2014
http://gravehunter-drw.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Musings of a Curious Individual. War Memorials in South Africa. Cemeteries in this Blog. Sunday, 28 September 2014. In July this year I headed off to Gosport and Haslar Royal Naval Cemetery. Towering above the dockyard was the ship I wanted to photograph, and on that short ferry crossing I got my pics. Satisfied, I headed off to the cemetery which isn't all that far away, but that ship kept nagging away in the back of my head. I really needed to see her from the dockyard. Haslar really has two major grou...

Musings of a Curious Individual: The Sleeping Children
http://gravehunter-drw.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-sleeping-children.html
Musings of a Curious Individual. War Memorials in South Africa. Cemeteries in this Blog. Sunday, 26 July 2015. I love Cathedrals and old churches, and usually make an effort to have a look at them whenever I am near one. The one attraction that always draws me are the wall memorials and of course the effigies. I have seen quite a few now, but there is one that really sticks in my mind. In the history of the memorial they mention the Boothby Memorial. And are used with his permission. Tis morn, awake!

Musings of a Curious Individual: August 2015
http://gravehunter-drw.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Musings of a Curious Individual. War Memorials in South Africa. Cemeteries in this Blog. Saturday, 29 August 2015. This morning, and the primary goal was the cathedral, because they are really a big drawcard in any city. If you don't have a cathedral you better have something equally grand instead! And, like the other cathedrals I have seen this one is beautiful, the level of detail in it is amazing and it has a really nice collection of Gargolyes too. Unfortunately there were heaps of chairs being moved...

Musings of a Curious Individual: A dash off to Cheltenham
http://gravehunter-drw.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-dash-off-to-cheltenham.html
Musings of a Curious Individual. War Memorials in South Africa. Cemeteries in this Blog. Sunday, 5 July 2015. A dash off to Cheltenham. Yesterday I did a fast trip to Cheltenham. It is probably where I will end if I cannot find a place to live locally. It is not too far away, about 45 minutes with the number 41 bus. Unfortunately the usual Clarence Street bus terminal was closed so I ended up not quite where I wanted to be. I headed towards Clarence street anyway, passing an old fire station,. I emerged ...

Musings of a Curious Individual: March 2015
http://gravehunter-drw.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Musings of a Curious Individual. War Memorials in South Africa. Cemeteries in this Blog. Sunday, 29 March 2015. RAF Museum Cosford (3). Continuing where we left off. Hanger 1 was not as spectacular as the others were, but there were some very interesting aircraft here, and a number of the types did serve in South Africa too. This was also Munchkin Headquarters, and the one corner of the hanger was off limits to non-munchkins so photographing the biggest exhibit in its entirety was once again impossible.

Musings of a Curious Individual. War Memorials in South Africa. Cemeteries in this Blog. Sunday, 24 August 2014. Lets go by Train (2). In which we travel on the Trans-Natal. Postcard view of the "European" concourse. The concourse at Park Station was somewhat of a cathedral with its high ceiling, polished floors and islands leading down to the platforms. It was also segregated and in later years I got to know it reasonably well. I revisited it in 2012, and posted about that on my blog. We would wend our ...
