Kyt, Hope to post somemore things up about the project. I am getting a lot of people coming to the project and now have Uganda covered via the British Embassy. Also in talks with the Aussie Goverment and the Auckland War Museum. Let you know the outcomes of those as and when i'm able to.
The Embassy didn't happen to include the two Aussies at Tororo by any chance?

How did you go with that one for George York at Rheinberg Cemetery in Germany? Do you think there is any chance?

Cheers

Geoff

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
