Tim – grand, you’re a gentleman. (Could I also mention chocolate biscuits, preferably plain chocolate, but milk is ok at a push ).

Look forward to the evening’s presentation. The case of Lance Sgt Stones and the two men buried beside him, Lance Corporals Goggins and McDonald, is a very interesting one. The apparent “attitude” towards their battalion, from the higher echelons, might be a story in itself.

Will hopefully see you on the 10^th.

Tom

Ayesha and I will be staying at Avril's, on a study week organised by Andy Robertshaw. Albert isn't far, but they have something organised for that evening. If not, then I will suggest that we come over to Albert for theevening, so we could meet up with Pals.
