Thanks Bob

I have used similar large file transfers. It is/was the zipping of files bit that I'm not fully up on. Will have to have a look at it.

You beat me to it, Bob.

I would like to add that zipping jpgs would only be useful for keeping the files together (e.g. in packages of just under the max allowed size). As a way of saving space zipping jpgs is pretty useless as the savings in my experience are rarely more than 0.5 %.

It is also possible to use Skype to transfer large files. Possible but slow. I sent Swiper a 500 meg file by Skype - it took about 24 hours. But it got there.

Another point: it is often useful to check for availabilty of grave photos with Monsieur Pierre Vandervelden of http://www.inmemories.com/. He is French speaking but will answer mails in English without any problem. And another possible source is the War Grave Photographic Project at http://twgpp.org/
