Larry,

Thank you for your comments. I cannot answer for Frank Mason but your assumption that the information as published by me in BoBT&N (1980) was taken directly from the Gen.Qu.(6.Abt.) Verlustmeldungen is correct. The suggestion that I copied Mason is so far from the truth it is risible but disappointing given that I was at pains to do exactly the opposite. You also display a greater appreciation than others on the sheer practicalities of research of this kind which, I would point out - though not in mitigation, was undertaken over three decades ago and, thus, before the bulk of the essential source materials were even in the public domain.
