British born 5th AIF - identifcations

[Tjap]

Due to an extremely tardy response to my attempts to communicate with the Australian DOD dealing with this I abandonned all the files I had assembled when my computer crashed in December 2010.

Fortunately I was able to retrieve most of my work from the backs of envelopes etc. when I did finally get a response.

I had a call this week from one of the elderly folk from whom I had obtained permision to contact the DOD to say that they had now received an inquiry and had been sent materials including a DVD of the opening ceremony which was greatly appreciated despite the separation in time and place from George Honey their mDNA relative.

Is there anywhere that I can get an update on which soldiers on the list still need researching.

Best to all,

Howard

Try sending a PM to GWF member Fedelmar.

You're not alone Howard and it is really frustrating.

We are all finding it extremely difficult to extract any information from the DOD!!

I've had mtDNA descendants I located over 12 months ago still waiting to hear from them. I advised them of your searches last time and I think you mentioned they'd finally been in touch but that was ages ago.

Cheers,
