    1. Potential destruction of WWI Medal Cards.
    2. The problem of the Medal Cards seems now to be in the public domain. the Daily Mail has printed a short article on the subject and the public concern caused.

I think what is needed now is for all of us to raise the temperature and to sustain the pressure by contacting who we think might have some influence ( and don't forget the forthcoming general election ), MPs, newspapers, Geoff Hoon, National Archives, Imperial War Museum and the like. Show the strength of Family Historians' opinions. It makes one wonder what else has been destroyed in the past without our knowledge or ignored as being unimportant by those we entrust our heritage to. Mike Tebbutt.
