It would be nice if you could now revise or delete your GWF post as it does deflect attention away for the meaning of the thread and the 21 non comms listed. _________________ Jim

Nothing said in my comment on the Great war forum is inaccurate. I merely gave credit to the initial finder of these missing men. |

When Derek found them they were only potential non comms. I seem to remember doing all the work to prove and put the cases together which others took up after I sent it via IFCP. It was fowarded on his behalf and this is quite clear.

I am not looking for any credit, nor do I think is Derek. It is the non comm who is important here and, in my view, the style / detail of the GWF post detracts from that, which is a shame.
This thread is now doing the same so I will not comment further. _________________ Jim
