I stumbled on this website earlier http://twgpp.org/index.php
It seems you can narrow down the results to specific graveyards.

I tried this - it did show me a photograph of my uncle's grave, though I already have a better one as I've been. Nevertheless it's great if you haven't already got a photo. Unfortunately it couldn't give me the two I want as they're probably way down the list because of where they are.
Slightly off-topic, whilst we were away we sailed through the Dardanelles Strait - which most ships do at night but which we were fortunate to do during daylight hours. We had a running commentary on the events that had taken place there and were able to see all the war memorials on both banks of the straits. It was a particularly moving couple of hours for me as my grandfather was shipwrecked there, and also for the Australians on board as the Anzac forces suffered badly at Gallipoli. Some of the passengers threw a wreath overboard which I thought was a lovely gesture.
