| Ron, Is Tom having trouble getting here? Brian aka Sapper is also haveing trouble getting to this site, he's ok I spoke to him on the phone yesterday. Seems odd that two Veterans aren't able to visit us. |

| This is the first I've heard of this Ron, can you extend our apologies to Tom Canning. I'll look into it and PM you for more details. If anyone else is having, or knows of anyone having, trouble could they contact me via Pocketbrownie[at]hotmail.com (replace [at] with @) so I can see if there's a more widespread issue. Cheers, Adam.

| Hi Adam I had the same problem but overcame it by using the following url: www.ww2talk.com/forum/main-ww2-talk-forums Here's the 8th Army cover: 8th Army Service of Thanksgiving Hopefully, when I gain access to all my stuff presently in a 20x8 shipping container, i will find the 1st Army one. Thanks also to 51st Div for the NWE one. Cheers, Gerry |
