Documents Online has all sorts of goodies in the form of pdf files. You choose what you want (if anything) and pay by credit card and the e-mail you the file immediately - tho' you have a few weeks to get the download sorted, if you want to take that long. Christine |

Yes, the National Archives (used to be called the Public Record Office) - look up his medal card and download a copy for £3.50 tonight! Casualties are listed on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site but if he survived the war he's not going to be listed. |
