I finally got Volume 1 of their History yesterday.
Lots of info in there & a superb map of their route into Nijmegen.
I'm a bit busy at the moment but I will get it posted here for you soon.

I saved a few quid by getting each volume from a different bookseller rather than the two volumes together.
I post the info & map tomorrow , FJ.

Taken with my Kodak Z1275 on "Close Up" setting.
Then resized and made Black & White on Corel Photo Album 6.
