Thanks for the latest crop Maureen. I've always thought it's odd that the Australian authorities haven't digitised any of their regimental histories, bearing in mind how much they've done in putting other WWI records online. At least the American libraries are starting to fill the gap.

All the best, John

As always, we are so grateful Maureen.  I've downloaded quite a few of the Australian ones, some of which I already had in hard cover but the electronic ones are easy to find things.

Interesting to see a few pages in many of the books show how it was done - page by page!
