Ooops! I meant to include the URL of the London Gazette, in case anyone wants to look at the archives... http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/ If you navigate to the WW1 section, you can see PDF files showing a facsimile version of the actual gazzette. There's much more, and you may find it works better in an Explorer window than in Netscape. Cheers Rich -- Born in Sheffield, but currently in Nottingham UK.
