John W Posted 24 December , 2006 Share Posted 24 December , 2006 It appears to heve been reproduced on CD rom in a pdf format from a company called your old books and maps, I think the cost is about £10. I did some work on the role of honour a few years back and created a database with about half of the names. JOhn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOhn I am especially interested in the quite interesting sounding home front auxiliary support stuff such as the VADS, local hospitals, general hospitals, red cross, flag days etc.... How many pages are these and if you worked that extensively any way if there not too many to scan (presuming that you already have?!) such pages and send them to me? Thanks, John Merry Christmas all!
