Right, now i know who your talking about, and your not being harsh at all. Lost the site with Pierre in Belguim so if you still have could you re-send the link again please. I'll get in touch with him as soon as you send it. Have you contacted him yet? If so what was his reaction to your email? I'll get the email off to you reference the RSL over the next day or so. Better be ready for a load from Canada as that article i put in the Canadian Family History Magazine should be coming out soon and i'm hoping that it will get a good response. I'm also going to send it to a few British magazines which i'm hoping will also publish it. Take care All Mike (Sniper)

You're Top Poster: #9  | I was asked today if I had obtained permission from the local authority to take photos of headstones (for Spidge and Sniper) because "only the person so named doesn't require said authority"! Is it me???? CTNana |

You're Top Poster: #13 | Hi All, I'm pleased to announce that this project has just completed talks with another website who is going to take on all the photos of WW1 Canadian casualties. The Canadian Great War Project are trying to put all information of Canadian service personnel online whether or not they were casualties. Their database includes all those that survived as well and they have records of over 75,000 up online already. Also online they have 6,500 war diary entries, 380 transcribed letters and newspapers articles, 530 images and 380 book/media descriptions. They have a number of volunteers working on transcribing attestation papers. As you all know the aim of my project is to get all this information up online so people can access it for FREE. With this partnership we are going to be a huge step nearer to keeping the memory of all service personnel alive forever. You can find their website at Canadian Great War Project Also i'm now in talks with the old BWMP who have totally re-thought the way they now work. There was a huge rift between the two directors and they have now gone their seperate ways and Richard has now decided to go along the lines of providing photos and information for all WW1 & 2 for FREE. He has totally redesigned the website along with a new name, which is The International Armed Forces Memorial. Anyone can upload photos or information of casualties to the website and anyone can access the information for free. That means that we now have a FREE website for thew British casualties which has been sadly lacking. He does include all other Commonwealth and Axis Powers casualties. My plan is to get as many partnerships with other websites as possible so that if one website falls by the wayside at least there will be other websites who will still be holding photos. My time is now being spent uploading photos to websites and if anyone can get out there and take some photos and send them to me it would be really appreciated. You will be credited with the taking of the photos as will this project. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask them, i'll only be too pleased to answer them. Take care All Sniper
