[quote=Guinness;1006919]Perhaps actual publishing isn't the way to go with something like this. Much as I admire the effort and work put into this, lets be honest, nobody is going to read a book of numbers. Some form of internet publication may be more appropriate

It is not just a book of numbers, its as much of the mans life as I can find, where he was born, where he went to school, his parents & siblings, his wife & children, where & how he was wounded which hospital he was treated in, where they were killed and buried, Etc Etc.
plus over 900 faces.
Then there are my other projects identifying all the men in Greater Accrington who took the Kings Shilling in WW1, plus all the local War Memorials, Roll of Honour & Rolls of Glory. Nearly 3000 pictures of them, plus 100's unidentified.
Thought about the internet, but again thats practically giving it away free, I've even tried buiilding web site, but all the programms are writen by the Septics, and their take on the written English language and its usage has me bewilderd, they go all the way round Church & Ossy, just to go up Manchester Rd to get to Bash.
