Hello Mack,
thankyou for that. It never occurred to me to ask people if they had any extra info that they would like to share. Was Joseph Dodson your great grandfather?
Would it be ok to put the info onto the flickr page as part of his notes?
Best wishes
Ruth

Hi everyone,
re the random order of dates. Initially this was just a sample that I wanted to do to start off. I am doing them in near enough date order now as Im finding it easier to search the original collection, and getting used to flickr as well. Keep checking back:)

Thanks again Mack. I have now added the extra info to the various soldiers, I know it will be much appreciated by their families and anyone else researching.
All the best
