Having more trouble with my ntl connection I have not looked recently, but about a week ago the subject of the impending destruction of the Cards was being discussed on the newsgroup/List? of 1914-1918. There appeared to be disagreement of the number of cards with addresses on the reverse up to 30%! They were then saying a couple of people were contacting their MPs and getting replies plus that they were hopeful that another Government? department were in discussion regarding the siting of the Cards. Perhaps a Society member could look and see if there has been progress via that List? From Merryl Wells of Luton, Beds. E-Mail: merryl.wells@one-name.org GOONS Mem. No. 1757. Reg.
