Andrew Hesketh Posted 5 August , 2005 Share Posted 5 August , 2005 I recently moved ISP's and a couple of days ago my site went offline. Well it's now back but with a new address. However I'm taking the opportunity of redesigning the whole thing so at present there are many gaps and inconsistencies. If you are one of the pals who pops in every now and again please bear with me. (A big thanks to the couple of you who actually noticed it had gone!!) The Sherwood Foresters section is getting the most of the adaptation and will take another week or two to reappear. I'll re-post when it's all back to normal. If the link in my signature doesn't work, the full address is: http://www.derbyshirelads.uwclub.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenwoodman Posted 5 August , 2005 Share Posted 5 August , 2005 Good work, Andrew. Look forward to seeing the update complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Bagshaw Posted 6 August , 2005 Share Posted 6 August , 2005 Andrew, looks good already!! If i can help you at all give me a shout!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Hesketh Posted 6 August , 2005 Author Share Posted 6 August , 2005 Richard - thanks. Anthony - you already have mate (though I've still not made full use of all the DCM stuff you kindly sent me). Well, everything that was there is now back again, so I can turn my attention to development (after a short tea break of course). For those with no obvious interest in Derbyshire or the Sherwood Foresters, there is still the Officer's Training Manual which you may find of interest. Go to the Sherwood Foresters section, then War & Warfare to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Hesketh Posted 8 August , 2005 Author Share Posted 8 August , 2005 Public thanks to Rupert (KONDOA) for the pictures. Much appreciated. If anyone else has anything Forester or Derbyshire I would be moooost grateful for it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Hesketh Posted 8 August , 2005 Author Share Posted 8 August , 2005 Anthony - yes, please! KONDOA - I've pieced together Elijah Garrett's story. I'd be pleased if you'd read it and see if it tallies with what you may have discovered. It took me a while to make sense of the fact that he was recorded as 2/5th in SDGW. CWGC place him in the 1st, and the MIC details and his date of death pretty much confirm it. You'll find a link in the 'Updates' box on the home page. I've also linked him up with the Brimington war memorial and 1st Battalion pages. Thanks again for the photo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambo Posted 24 August , 2005 Share Posted 24 August , 2005 Andrew Just had a nose at your excellant website. If I come across info that may be of use to you do I post it here or email you? I also had a look at some of the war memorial sites where not all the men's have been detailed if I could add information I assume it would be best to contact thre relavent webmaster Congratulations Hambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
