Sally asked for a photo of the grave of Henry Charles MacNamara who is buried in Stanley War Cemetery, Hong Kong. I didn’t have one hopefully Tony Banham does.
Put a page in the ‘Site Memorial’ section of the Roll of Honour with a plan of cemetery showing position of grave:-

My name is Natalie Walters, and I tutor middle school and high school students. I am helping a student with a project on substance abuse among veterans, and a PTSD awareness project.
During the research, I came across your website fepow.family, and I noticed that on your resource page you list some helpful websites for veterans and their families.
My student Emma also found these pages and thought it would be a nice addition to your page:
Quit Smoking Community’s guide to tobacco addiction amongst veterans: https://quitsmokingcommunity.org/how-to-quit-smoking/veterans-and-tobacco-addiction/
and
a helpful resource for veterans struggling with substance abuse issues on Addiction Resource: https://addictionresource.com/addiction/veterans-and-substance-abuse/.
If you do decide to add these to your page, please let me know! I would be excited to show Emma that we were able to give something back!
Best Wishes,
Natalie Walters
