Hopefully within the next couple of weeks, depending on work, as all three are nearby

PS. Lapugnoy appears to be in France!
Thanks Andy,

Must have captured Lapugnoy in error when I did the sort. Put a name next to it for someone who was doing some graves in the area.

Thanks for bringing it to my notice. Not enough sleep is a bad enemy when on the laptop.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
