Much appreciated, Sir.

 

If you know what you're doing with the 'inspect element' function of your web browser, you can bypass the interface and download these journals as complete .pdf files; if you don't know how to do that, message me your email address—I have the 1939-46 ones now.

Edit: for those in the know, run this:
document.getElementById('download').click()

in the console tab.

 

Thanks for that. I have 2 original issues dated, October 1944 and April 1945.

 

Thanks for the heads up. Picked up some background info on one of my Chindit 1 participants.

 

Was he a Cameron or Liverpool Scottish?

 

Was he a Cameron or Liverpool Scottish?

 

oops.!!!

 

He was a Cameron, volunteered for Chindit 1, then went back to the Cameron Highlanders in 1944.

 

Some good detail on Cassino in the 1944 Part 01 edition.

 

This redirects to a password login now....how can I access these? I'd love to have the full run available for research.

Thanks,
Robert

 

Strange that the web link goes to what appears to be commercial website or option. Although Google only returns the QOH title. The site is "down" and in the absence of a manager no update is likely for two weeks.
