Hi Graham

Many thanks for your excellent research work on the Rolls of Honour, however the method of creating many messages is becoming confusing and not practicable. Are you able to create one list of all the names with relevant detail in unit order rather than post on multiple messages and then send me that list when complete on the same email address that you used today. Please include those on the messages you have already posted that have not been dealt with. That way I will be able to check them as and when I have the time to do so.

Regards

Pete
