Just found in the loft, an original copy of the Daily Express London dated Tuesday April 23 1900. Amongst other things it gives a list of War casualties..revised lists of dead and missing, which includes some Regs. and Nos. It may be of help to some people who have rellies missing etc. Am I allowed to put it on here?...just type in the names reg.Nos. So if it's there,you can help yourself, without me having to mail folk back....EMR

I can't see any reason why not, after all if it's in the newspaper then it's already in the public domain.

I'm sure it will be of help to a lot of people.
