I started a casualty list, he'll no doubt appear in that at some point.

Although it will be that big I don't know if it will ever get finished. I've hardly moved away from the 7th's first few days in the line!
It will be interesting to see how it changes from being dominated by the 7th Bn NF to later years when it should show locals in all sorts of units.
But like I say if it gets finished it will be a miracle.

[my idea was to split it into two pages, Alnwick, Rothbury and the north on one; and the south, Amble Broomhill etc on the another. Everything is on one page at the moment]
