what does this say, and mean

[corisande]

77 pages is a bit more than they kept on most men. So why do they have that many pages ? (rhetorical question)

In the abstract it is difficult to know what you will get exactly - it could be pages on his medical records if he had for example been sick a lot, or it could be a full write up (perhaps) of a court martial.

You don't say how much they quote for sending you the records, but if it is within your budget, you stand a sporting chance of getting something interesting.

Slightly off topic but, if you want to know more about Brocton Camp there's a very good little book about the camps (there were two, Brocton Camp and Rugeley Camp) called "A Town for Four Winters" by C. J. and G. P. Whitehouse. It has plans of the camp and several "then and now" photographs.*
There's also some interesting info at http://www.cannockchasedc.gov.uk/site/HeritageTrail/great_war.html

Have just recieved about 50 pages , so far not very interesting    but I have only flicked through them.
