Thanks for that Alan but on accessing it, New Zealand must have dropped off the edge of the world map. Every country except NZ is listed as a choice. We (NZ) suffered 18,000 casualties in the 1st WW when our population was barely 1 million.in the trenches of Flanders, the 'flower' of our young manhood blown to bits. I suppose the sponsors of this site will get us included one day.
