    Morse, thanks for suggesting a great site. But, perhaps it is better to put it under another forum catagory. Also, I suggest a better text link format, e.g. British Veteran Organisation.

    Excellant links page Morse, the addresses
    of Associations are very hard to find at the
    best of times and can be a great help
    when doing research, their members
    are always more than happy to help
    and show a real interest in what you're
    doing.

    I recently contacted an Eighth Army
    veterans Association group in Manchester,
    Sadly, the Eighth Army Veterans Association
    closed down in December 2002 due
    to the advancing ages of its officers and
    committee members.
    But can you imagine my surprise when
    this gentleman said that his group still
    get together off their own backs every
    month and also produce a quarterly
    newsletter, which he kindly sent me.

    His part in the war was to serve with
    the Sherwood Foresters in the 46
    Infantry Division, sailing on Christmas
    Day from Liverpool to join the 1st
    Army in Tunisia.

    I think its great too still see this
    comradeship going strong after so
    many years. They've invited me to
    go up and join in on one of their
    evenings...Can't wait!!

    What a great warm welcome, I'll
    keep you all posted on my trip.

    Regards
    Kieron
