Hey James, just finished up reading this whole thread. Very interesting events. Also, a noble hobbie to keep these stories alive for both current and future generations.

I've found it fairly difficult getting much information about my Lancashire granddad's WWI experience (he fought in the trenches and suffered quite bad burns from the gas attacks).

Very early in WWII, I lost a Yorkshire Uncle at Ala Mein (sp?). His other 3 brothers were hurt in various ways. As the years go by, and we lose this glorious generation, the only facts we'll have are those that have been so well documented. Hence, I not only enjoyed your documentation of events but thank you for sustaining and bringing your thoughts/feelings to us through your writtings.

3 Cheers!

Brian
