Braindead Posted 26 January , 2013 Share Posted 26 January , 2013 My great-grandfather left some 200 documents from his Great War service in MI1©. I have photographed or scanned them & I'd like to upload them so that any interested parties could look at them. Where would be best to make the scans available?

Guest Posted 26 January , 2013 Share Posted 26 January , 2013 Hi Braindead. Great name. I wonder if might do the trick? Others may have better ideas Mike Edit: Oh well link doesn't work. Just google Dropbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braindead Posted 26 January , 2013 Author Share Posted 26 January , 2013 Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to set up Dropbox, not yet sure how to put up a public link though, but I am trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Blanchard Posted 27 January , 2013 Share Posted 27 January , 2013 Who was your great grandfather and what did he do in the Great War? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braindead Posted 27 January , 2013 Author Share Posted 27 January , 2013 My great grandfather's name was Redmond Barton Cafferata and he took up a commission in the RNVR in 1916. He was attached to Military Intelligence and was posted first to Switzerland and then, in 1918, to Greece. Hopefully, this link: http://sdrv.ms/WGwtrL should take you to a Windows Skydrive page with the documents that he passed to me. (I found it easier to make a public folder in Skydrive than Dropbox!). There is a sub-folder within the Skydrive page with a PDF which gives an account of his war service. I'd be grateful if the members could let me know if the folder is accessible, and any other thoughts about access. Michael Smith, in his 2010 book "Six" referred to the papers and transcribed one of them "Instructions for Agents" in an appendix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 27 January , 2013 Share Posted 27 January , 2013 It works Click Edit, though I can't get this link to work? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braindead Posted 27 January , 2013 Author Share Posted 27 January , 2013 I had problems too - which is why I just copied the url rather than trying to create a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muckandbullets Posted 28 January , 2013 Share Posted 28 January , 2013 I cannot make head or tails of this, I tried a GWF test link to my skydrive test folder. I copied the skydrive code and pasted it into the GWF link box. This was blue as in links that can be opened up. This was before I posted it. So at this stage all looked OK. On posting, the skydrive link did not remain blue but turned black as in post 8 by skipman. Thereby you now cannot click onto the link to skydrive. I never had a problem before on another thread. MN PS I have tried two tests/posts before this post and have deleted them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
