Chris Best Posted 2 December , 2007 Share Posted 2 December , 2007 A Canadian friend has asked me a number of questions about her GU's MIC - I've replied taking her to the www.1914-1918.net/mics.htm site. We know he was KIA 20/9/17 but haven't a clue which company he belonged to or brigade he supported. Can anyone help? Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Best Posted 5 December , 2007 Author Share Posted 5 December , 2007 Many thanks, Steve. I've signed over my £3.50 but TNA haven't coughed the document up yet. Think I'll call it a night for now and come back tomorrow. Thanks again, Steve Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
