Glad to help.
Hope you didn't get sunburnt.

Owen,
Got a read through the chapter,very interesting.
One point that comes through very clear,they didn't think a big lot about the Siclians. Some of the remarks wouldn't be exactly PC these days!

Owen · 06-05-2007, 08:30 PM

Ah, yes, I thought that too.

start of page 109, very un-PC.
Good isn't it?

Brian just posted this on the wrong thread.
Thought I'd leave it there and add it here too.
Have you got these or will you soon be spending £7?

Cheers Owen,
I do have quite a bit on Tommy and a few bits and pieces on Willy. I do have a copy of the actions that led to the medals,I think the copies came from the regimental museum(obtained quite a while ago by my mother).
I'm not sure they'ed be the same as the archive documents,do they contain much info?

Ignore my last question Owen, I've just seen the other thread and the example,I'll have to blow the cobwebs from the wallet.
