Whats New

Please note that may take a few days for new and revised pages to get indexed by
Google so they may not appear in site searches.


27/28 June 2010
Due to a combination of mechanical and technical problems earlier in the month some updates were lost, and some war memorial pages temporarily reverted to earlier versions. We have now reapplied the updates and and apologize for any inconvenience caused.

For unrelated technical reasons over 1900 images have been moved to a different directory and all internal links to these images have been updated. Our testing of these changes suggest that this move has been successfully achieved.
