    I appologize in advance if I have posted this in the wrong place. I am a new member. Wib McMullen from North Bay Ontario and I am 63. I have been interested in World War Two since I can remember. My dad was overseas posted in England and my mother's first husband was killed in action in Italy in 1943. My Uncle Bill Riley was wounded on the Niemegan Bridge during operation Market Garden. I have numerous books on the War. I am by no means any kind of expert just very interested in all aspects. I look forward to learning a great deal from this site. I am currently on a quest to find my Mother's first husband's gravesite in Italy. I had found a site at one time that you could search and I actually found the cemetary and gravesite and all information but didn't bookmark it and I cannot find it now. Any help in this area would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Axeblue aka Wib McMullen

    Hello, Wib. Welcome to a fine place. There are plenty of folks about who can help with your quest. There is plenty of information around, so use the Search function, post often, and have fun.

    Look for threads posted by macrusk, a fellow Canadian. She has plenty of links that might be of interest to you.
