Alan_J Posted 5 January , 2006 Share Posted 5 January , 2006 Des, Just quickly skimmed through, but it looks very impressive. Hopefully I'll get time to read it in depth tomorrow! Cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto_33853 Posted 5 January , 2006 Share Posted 5 January , 2006 Des, Good presentation, congrats to Ralph and yourself for putting this together. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andigger Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Now I know what you were invisioning months ago when you raised the topic to do a collaborative project amongst the Forum Pals. Quite impressive. I need to do a better read, but at first glance it looks like something well over due. Perhaps the 1915 battles next?

egbert Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Very impressing and great job!!! But unfortunately my eyes hurt from the eye catching-bizarre font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon Bull Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Very impressed - in between your day job; nursing the sick Mrs B; keeping the Holts in order and writing a novel how do you find the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sheldon Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 First class effort Desmond and Ralph. Well done and most interesting. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmond7 Posted 6 January , 2006 Author Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Thanks all .. re 'the font' I know what you mean ... Ralph sorted me out with this info a long time ago and I'd 'made the package up' with a DTP programme. Basically I just converted the files to jpegs and posted them up. I think I will go back and sort it out! Next step will be across the river to the 'other half' of 108 brig. I would love to see similar breakdowns of war diaries for other divisions/opposition.

John_Hartley Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Des & Ralph Well done guys. I knew you were up to this and having been looking forward to having a read for months. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmac Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Des, Excellent job and will read in detail ASAP. Am planning something similar for another part of the front so will take some lessons from this. Only comment is that the file sizes of the jpgs are necessarily large, otherwise the text would become unreadable as a result of greater compression. I have broadband but anyone on a dial-up internet connection would take an age to download the site. Have you considered laying the material out in something like Dreamweaver? Having the text as text rather than a jpg would allow it to load in seconds whatever type of connection you have and the photographs, which are all quite small, would will load pretty quickly too. But this is all nit-picking over an excellent venture you both should be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrel Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Des and Ralph, this is quite simply superb. As some of the the chaps say, where next after this and the remainder of the Brigade? 1915 battles would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_J Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Des, The information you have on this site and on your Ballymena site is valuable - and the ads etc. can put off some visitors - is it worth considering getting a dedicated domain? Obviously it does cost, but the hosting costs are not that much these days....neither are the domians if it comes to that. Just a thought.

Desmond7 Posted 7 January , 2006 Author Share Posted 7 January , 2006 Cheers again. Update: Ancre South sector now available on same link as above. I'm always on the look out for more images/maps etc which will enhance this site. All help greatly appreciated. Onwards and upwards to the other two brigades.
