 | Hi Steen Great site. Think I'll spend the afternoon browsing it.  Just one suggestion - would it be possible to have another search field that includes "theatre of Operation" - so, for example, we could search for generals who served in Burma etc. Thanks - now back to the site.

| Well done Steen. I have been wondering what you have been busy doing!

| Thank you to you all. @kyt Well a "Theatre of Operations" field would be quite a work. However if you search for burma in the assigment field you will find most of them. @spidge I have had a very long period where I wasn't able to post anything on the forum. This and the turmoil the forum has been through has keept me away. |

| This forum is starting to get back to where it was before the Eastern "Flame Wars" and the change in ownership which caused people to leave.

my apologies - as usual I didn't pay enough attention to the search facilities. The assignment field is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for a great site
