Most of the posts to the Rootsweb WORLDWAR2 list do indeed relate to the US Armed Forces, whilst most of the posts to the Rootsweb GREATWAR List relate to the UK Armed Forces. That just seems to be the way things are with these two lists - there's no deliberate slant. If you've got a UK-related query about WW2, please feel free to subscribe to that Mailing List and post it. There are quite a few people there who look out for UK queries, myself included, so don't feel that it's a waste of time. Forrest -- Forrest Anderson, Edinburgh, Scotland.
