MartinWills Posted 9 May , 2010 Share Posted 9 May , 2010 Hi Christine, I hope you can help. Looking for info on James Ramsey Scobie. Born in 1978 and was in the 2nd reserves (possibly C class) and he was a labourer. Any info would be appreciated. *can't believe this thread has been going for so long. Thanks Christine. Born 1978 - did you mean something like 1879 or 1897? Christine, Is it worth re-iterating how you can buy the disc - it is such a useful resource?
