Ill have to check them all now (no annoyed smilies) Hi If you're using version 2 of SDITGW, then there have been thousands of corrections/additions to the entries. This might be the case here. If not, then 'Houston, we have a problem!' Regards Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Wayman Posted 17 February , 2007 Share Posted 17 February , 2007 thanks - its an interesting one -could be loads of info Im missing out on Sorry it's taken so long - recently downloaded a mass of photos and the computer threw a tantrum! Version two reads exactly the same as version one, so no obvious solution there. maybe worth contacting Naval & Military Press to see if any alterations (from the book version) were made prior to the release of CD version one. Best of luck Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Baker Posted 25 February , 2007 Share Posted 25 February , 2007 On the basis that SDGW is a transcript from the book and only that, the Silverton information is a mystery and presumably plain wrong. I can imagine that the rank of Private was set up as a default in the database when it was compiled and when no rank is given, that is what was entered. Rather iffy but understandable. The editor of the CDROM recently came onto the forum to praise another product - perhaps he would like to comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 25 February , 2007 Share Posted 25 February , 2007 it looks like they picked up details from the next man on the list who was born and resided Silverton. I suppose depending on the scanning equipment, the lack of rank my have thrown them and somehow skipped onto next man but we need an expert.

Coldstreamer Posted 25 February , 2007 Author Share Posted 25 February , 2007 I think I have the answer Another pal looked on silverton war memorial for me to check , and hes not there, But there was a Haydon of the Coldstream Gds And they are next to each other alphabetically so its almost certainly a typing error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
