Re: Sad news
This is terrible news. The electronic history of each piece can be traced, however, and the TNA/PRO card holder identified, but someone trying to steal is likely to be one jump ahead, and to have an alias. Basically no-one should have any business with original images with K glosses on them. They just did not get out into the Service community. The distribution lists on the K reports show just how few were run off, and most of them will have been destroyed at the end of the war. Very few organisations preserved them. Any K Rep imagery is suspect, I feel.
What an outrage.
Incidentally Essex record Office used a neat system -weighing the piece issued out to you using a sensitive machine. You did not get the information on the weight, and if there was a discrepancy they knew you had been up to no good. It seemed to work.
Delmenhorst -I think I can guide you to another set oif K Reps with imagery (in official hands). Talk to me next time you are going to UK.
