Hi Alan

Nice photos. Are they from the ORB digital file? I've taken the liberty of cleaning them up a bit, hope you don't mind.

This thread gets better and better :D

Alan - does the 161 ORB have good written detail? (If they bother to include photos it suggests someone cared about what they were doing, unlike some ORBs!)

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard,
The ORB is almost all hand written, some of it takes a bit of getting used to, and is not helped by the low resolution copying, when enlarging to get a better view.
Alan.
There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.
