archangel9 Posted 21 October , 2012 Share Posted 21 October , 2012 Hi, Searching through De Ruvigny's on Ancestry and some of the pictures are very badly reproduced. I wonder would anyone with the originals be able to scan a copy of a picture for me? If so here are his details - Name: Eric Edge Beatty Volume: Volume 3 Page: 20 On ancestry his picture is completely blank. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maricourt Posted 21 October , 2012 Share Posted 21 October , 2012 Hello John I have the reprint of De Ruvigny's and have just looked up your reference to Eric Edge Beatty and that is black/blank, as well. Perhaps the original version of the book had a clearer photograph. Regards ... Maricourt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Owl Posted 21 October , 2012 Share Posted 21 October , 2012 Hi John, IPT has found the photo for you, but if you would like a copy from the original? then please PM me your email and I will send you a copy. The original is quite dark as you can see but if you can put into an editor then you may be able to improve this slightly. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archangel9 Posted 21 October , 2012 Author Share Posted 21 October , 2012 Hi Maricourt, Thanks very much for looking. IPT, Perfect!! Great to have another source for the roll of honour and with clear pictures too Looks like its searchable by regiment too which the Ancestry version is not. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archangel9 Posted 21 October , 2012 Author Share Posted 21 October , 2012 Robert, PM sent. Cheers. IPT has also sent me on the picture so it will be good to see how clear I can make it. Beatty's medals were auctioned online a number of years ago, I bid on them but stood no chance as they went over €500 if I remember right. Mind you memory is not my strongest asset as demonstrated when I tried to save the first volume from IPT's link only to discover I already have it! I really need to keep better records! Thanks gents for all your help! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archangel9 Posted 22 October , 2012 Author Share Posted 22 October , 2012 Hi John. Hope this helps - http://archive.org/s...age/20/mode/2up Thanks for the link to Vol 3 and I have Vol 1 and 2 downloaded. Are the other volumes available online?

archangel9 Posted 2 July , 2014 Author Share Posted 2 July , 2014 There is obviously a problem at the moment. CWGC shows 0 war dead on 8 Sep 1914. Hopefully they will feed the mice in the morning. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archangel9 Posted 2 July , 2014 Author Share Posted 2 July , 2014 A search for 1/7/16 incredibly returns only 294. This on the site Next week - commencing 7 July - the CWGC will launch an exciting range of new digital services on this website. These include:- The launch of the Discover 14-18 website - to help people visit our sites and understand their history; The launch of our First World War casualty archive documents online; and enhancements to Search Our Records. While the enhancements are taking place, users may experience some disruption to our normal web services, for which we apologise. We hope that, with the changes, users will find the experience of searching through our records even more fascinating than before. Appears they have made a dogs dinner of it already!!

Admin spof Posted 3 July , 2014 Admin Share Posted 3 July , 2014 Don't panic Captain Mainwaring!! http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/574230/ He is there. For now, try using Geoff's Search Engine until the CWGC upgrade is completed. It will definitely be worth the temporary trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
