Hi again DownUnder,
hope you're well, nice to see you're still researching hard. Following my trip today to my local library I've just added a little more to the above post, gleaned from borrowing the aforementioned "Second World War Ancestors" book. If you have any more specific enquiries and the various links don't help, please contact me and I'll try and help you in a general way, such as more specific detail wrt applying for Records from the M.o.D. etc.

Yes it is interesting the Australian Government have a different approach to the various FH records than here in Britain, but as you say it's all swings & roundabouts.

Regarding your suggestion (or plea?) to share the Ashes, I've deliberately not contacted you lately for fear you'd think I was rubbing it in. To be absolutely honest as interesting as the cricket's been, I'm sure we'd all have liked your team to be a stiffer challenge, but after too many years of "hurt" I for one don't mind. I'm "happy" to be proven wrong, but I feel the mistake of not forcing the follow-on was "the" key moment of this Series especially given the fact that it ALWAYS rains in Manchester and quite possibly Durham too.

Draw ?. Sorry, "NO deal".
:-)
