I'm planning another trip in the week or so to the National Archives so feel free to add to the following list: WO 167/479 - 27 Field Regiment Royal Artillery WO 167/806 - 4 Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry I know I have thanked many of you individually for your more than generous donations (Some donations exceeding three figues!) to the charities listed above but felt a public thank you was more than called for. I'm sure your genoristy will make more than a difference. Many thanks again and as ever it is 'always a pleasure and never a chore'. Regards Andy

Andy, FYI re 4 OBLI diary: 'Re. charity donation - I am going to send some money to the Royal British Legion if that's ok with you. I am sure I've said it before, but I'd be really grateful if you'd extend my thanks to any of your other friends who've helped us so far too.' Cheers Pete
Pete, Many thanks for the donation. RBL is great and rather apt I think. I put the diary in the post today-Hopefully you'll receive it tomorrow. Regards Andy
