Hi John,

The Combat Reports are available as online document on the site of The National Archives (former PRO).

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/d...resultcount=59

It only costs 3.50 pounds and you will be able to download the reqested document instantly.

Good luck!

Hans

Hi John,

That's why I included the link his specific combat report in my last message, it's catalogued under the name Lindsey instead of Lindsay.

See you November 6th at De Kooy.

Hans
