Hi, I hope that everyone that is discussing this subject is also, at least, emailing the campaign at Your Family Tree. It is now appearing obvious that we do not have time to have the Society make an objection on behalf of its members, so we should make our personal views known via this one company that has offered to organize something. As with the campaign regarding the reforming of the Civil Registration a large number of individual objections may have greater impact than a few Family History/Genealogical Societies. Perhaps a member could contact the BBC/Nick Barrett to make the situation more widely known. It is not just family historians that may be concerned about this destruction, but various organizations connected to the Army and other educational institutions - and not just England! At present it seems the Ministry of Defence thinks it can internally do what it likes with national records. Most of the people whose cards I would like to trace had connections with Canada, America, Australia and South Africa. From Merryl Wells of Luton, Beds. E-Mail: merryl.wells@one-name.org GOONS Mem.
