在BBC威尔士台发出呼吁后，人们终于找到了那些被遗忘在荷兰某公墓中的二战士兵的照片，不过仍有许多士兵的照片尚未寻获。
Photos of "forgotten" World War Two soldiers buried at a cemetery in the Netherlands have been found after an appeal on BBC Wales but many are still missing.
在荷兰东南部的历史名镇韦纳雷，志愿者们主动承担起照料600多名在战争中阵亡的英国士兵墓穴的责任。
Campaigners in the historical town of Venray in the south-east of the country have adopted the graves of more than 600 British soldiers killed in the war.
“这些战士为了我们的自由付出了最沉重的代价，”韦纳雷战争公墓墓地照料基金会的志愿者西奥·弗尔沃特说道，“我们绝不会忘记他们，也希望把他们的故事传递给下一代。”通过社交媒体的联系，数百张士兵照片已被找到并放置在相应墓碑旁，但寻找其余少数威尔士籍士兵照片的工作仍在继续。
"These men paid the highest price for our freedom," said volunteer Theo Vervoort from Venray War Cemetery Adoption Graves Foundation "We will not forget them and we want to tell their story to the next generation." Hundreds of photos have been found and placed on the graves through connections on social media, but the search for the remaining few Welsh soldiers continues.
今年8月，BBC威尔士台曾发布过相关呼吁。此后，来自布莱奈格温特郡特雷德加尔的66岁女子凯瑟琳·特拉维斯惊喜地发现，竟有志愿者在照料她亲属的墓穴。
After the previous appeal was published in August, Catherine Travis, 66, from Tredegar, Blaenau Gwent, said she was amazed when she found that there were volunteers looking after her relative's grave.
“我简直不敢相信，真不敢相信居然有女士在悉心照料这座墓碑。这一切都源于我们的士兵曾在荷兰为祖国而战，”她说道。
"I couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe it that this lady takes care of the grave and it's all because our soldiers fought for their country in the Netherlands," she said.
阿尔伯特·亨利·惠勒来自蒙茅斯郡克莱达赫，1944年11月牺牲时年仅28岁。
Albert Henry Wheeler from Clydach, Monmouthshire, was 28 years old when he died in November 1944.
去年，凯瑟琳开始调查他的生平，得知他是南威尔士边防军的一员。如今，惠勒的照片也已被转交给韦纳雷的志愿者们。
Catherine started looking into his background last year, and found he was a member of the South Wales Borderers. His photo has now been shared with the volunteers in Venray.
“我了解到了关于阿尔伯特·惠勒的诸多信息。这些信息几乎占据了我的整个生活，”凯瑟琳说道。
"I've found out so much about Albert Wheeler. It's taken over my life, basically," Catherine said.
“如今我们不仅为墓碑找到了对应的面容，还知晓了那场战役的来龙去脉，甚至清楚他牺牲的具体地点。我们一步步还原出了阿尔伯特从童年时期起的人生轨迹。”凯瑟琳已与负责照料惠勒墓穴的29岁女子洛特·沙恩取得了联系，本月晚些时候她将首次前往韦纳雷与对方见面。
"To think now that we've put a face to the grave, we know the story of the battle, we know exactly where he died, we've built this picture up of Albert, right from a child." Catherine has been in touch with the adopter of the grave, Lotte Scharn, 29, who she will meet during her first visit to Venray later this month.
“我觉得自己必须去一趟。我对这位战士了解得如此之多，因此一定要亲自前往，向他致敬、献上鲜花并道一声感谢，”她说道。
"I feel I've got to go. I know so much about the man, I feel I've got to go out there, and pay my respects, put flowers down, and say thank you," she said.
“这会很温馨，但也会令人动容。”在荷兰从事记者工作的洛特说道，她表示查阅阿尔伯特·惠勒的生平经历“是一段有趣的历程”。
"It will be lovely, but it will be emotional." Lotte, who works as a journalist in the Netherlands, said that looking into Albert Wheeler's history had been "an interesting ride".
通过查阅当地的战争日记，她发现阿尔伯特·惠勒在奥弗洛恩战役中牺牲的地点离她的住处仅一步之遥。
She discovered, through war diaries from the area, that he died a stone's throw from where she lives during the Battle of Overloon. "This kind of started out as my own little project," she said.
“起初这只是我个人的一个小计划，”她说，“现在它渐渐变得极具个人意义。虽然他并非我的亲人，我也从未见过此人，但我开始觉得自己与他的故事有着某种联系。”
"It's starting to feel very personal. It's not my family, I haven't known this man at all, but it's starting to feel like I have a connection to his story." Jackie Pryce-Elias, 60, from Carmarthen said she was "mindblown" when she saw the appeal to find a photo of her grandfather on the news.
来自卡马森、60岁的杰基·普赖斯-埃利亚斯表示，当她在新闻中看到寻找祖父照片的启事时，简直惊呆了。随后，她的女儿凯莉通过社交媒体联系上了韦纳伊的志愿者们。
Her daughter, Kelly, then made contact with the volunteers in Venray on social media. "If my mother was still alive and knew that the Dutch people were looking after their graves, she would be amazed," Jackie said. "Me, my sister, have both said we want to go back out there now. "We went three years ago.
“如果我母亲还在世，得知荷兰人一直在悉心照料这些墓碑，她一定会惊叹不已，”杰基说道，“我和姐姐都决定现在就再去一趟那里。我们三年前去过一次，当时就感慨万千。如今经过BBC的报道，祖父的名字广为人知，我和姐姐都想再次前往表达敬意，也想见见那些一直照料这些墓碑的人们。”
It was emotional. "But now that all of this has happened, with the BBC, it's out there now, his name's out there, so me and my sister want to pay our respects again, and to see the people who have been adopting these graves." Jackie will be in Venray for a ceremony on 18 October to mark the day the town was liberated by British troops in 1944.
10月18日，杰基将前往韦纳伊参加纪念仪式，以缅怀1944年英国军队解放该镇的日子。
Theo is preparing to welcome the families to the area, along with his fellow volunteers, who are still appealing for more relatives to get in touch.
西奥正与其他志愿者们一起准备迎接这些家属的到来，他们仍在呼吁更多亲属与他们取得联系。
"The help of the BBC is very important," he said. "Most of the people we are looking for don't have Facebook, they are 70+.
“BBC的帮助至关重要，”他说道，“我们正在寻找的大多数人年逾70，他们没有使用脸书，也不认识我们。如果我们主动联系，他们往往会误以为是诈骗。因此，通过广播或新闻报道来联系他们是最有效的途径。”目前，志愿者们仍在征集以下几位威尔士士兵的照片：梅尔文·霍普金·戴维斯，来自布里真德市的梅斯特格约瑟夫·弗雷德里克·戴维斯，来自朗达卡农塔夫郡的芒廷阿什埃文·欧文·戴维斯，来自雷克瑟姆阿尔伯特·约瑟夫·哈里斯，来自彭布罗克郡的哈弗福德韦斯特威廉·埃德加·拉奇，来自朗达卡农塔夫郡的庞蒂普里德诺曼·彼得·利尔亚，来自凯尔菲利威廉·伯恩·奥唐奈，来自格拉摩根弗雷德里克·悉尼·斯科特，来自格拉摩根约翰·梅雷迪思·泰勒，来自纽波特大卫·乔治·威廉姆斯，来自斯旺西
They don't know us. If we try to connect people often think it's a scam. So one of the best ways to contact [people] is by a broadcast or article." The volunteers are still appealing for the images of the following Welsh soldiers: Mervyn Hopkin Davies, from Maesteg, Bridgend Joseph Frederick Davies, from Mountain Ash, Rhondda Cynon Taf Evan Owen Davies, from Wrexham Albert Joseph Harries, from Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire William Edgar Large, from Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taf Norman Peter Lilja, from Caerphilly William Burne O'Donnell, from Glamorgan Frederick Sydney Scott, from Glamorgan John Meredith Taylor, from Newport David George Williams, from Swansea
