Hi: >Places still available this Saturday for Napoleonic Prisoners of War... > >Saturday 9 July 2005, 10.30am, Napoleonic Prisoners of War. > >A half day course with Karen Selby from Peterborough Museum and Peter Clark, >former BBC TV Educational Producer and President of the LAVIE Society >(Captain Sir Thomas Lavie KCB RN was a famous POW and the Senior British >Naval Officer at Verdun.) This announcement has prompted a (very) vague memory, of the death of a (French?) lady a number of years ago who had built up a major index to Napoleonic prisoners of war, and whose index had been bequeathed to a university here in Britain. When I contacted them I was told they had no resources to provide a look-up service. Can anyone identify this index, and tell me whether the index still exists and is accessible? cheers Brian Randell -- School of Computing Science, University of Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RU, UK EMAIL = Brian.Randell@ncl.ac.uk PHONE = +44 191 222 7923 FAX = +44 191 222 8232 URL = http://www.cs.ncl.ac.uk/~brian.randell/
The index was kept by the late Margaret Audin. As to its fate, I too would like to know.
