Welcome to the forum "Sniper".

Let us know if you notice anything that is not working as it should.

I'm sure with Lee at the helm everything will be working properly. Thanks for the welcome Spidge.

Take care

Hope to see some of those interesting posts over here.

Spidge, The wife is sorting out your photos of Runnymeade and they should be with you over the next few days, i think she has another 17 photos to go through.

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.

Talk soon
Mike

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
