I apologise for posting this before Jim, but have just seen this article in today's Sunday Telegraph.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/britain-at-war/9889586/Hundreds-of-forgotten-dead-from-the-World-Wars-are-discovered.html

Certainly tells a great story and fills in a couple of gaps in my knowledge of the project.

Paul

I learnt of this a last week when info from volunteers was requested by " HQ " and was sent the Telegraph link this morning. We have a website where all our doings can be viewed. http://infromthecold.org/

As usual, the press have put their own slant on things and have not used all the info / detail that was supplied. They have created the illusion that all of this is down to Terry and John, which they find a little unfortunate.

Could a MOD move this thread detail to the IFCP thread in the Non Comms section?

There was more on our work on the BBC today.

These missing men should not be confused with any who might be thought to be missing from a local war memorial. There is no linkage between the two.
