A bit of a sweeping assessment unless you know what people want the various pieces of information for, don't you think?

I can make no claims to be a serious-minded anything but the information I gather is to try and understand what happened in the war (or various neglected corners of it): claims and losses are part of the sequence of events in the fighting. Veterans I've met and corresponded with were always fascinated to know who "the other guy" was.

Such information certainly isn't everything but it's part of the picture.
