In answer to J.P. Mone's query about information on regiments, here is the ultimate source: http://www.egroups.com/links/britregiments and the FAQ's at http://www.egroups.com/database/britregiments?method=reportRows&tbl=1 Actually these are the links pages, the only addresses I have retained, but you should be able to work your way to the subscription page. It is one of the many e-groups list forums, very active (subscribe in Digest forum) and with experts that are a great help. Regards, LeRoy Ferguson Madrid, Spain
