My pleasure. It's interesting. I started describing the illustrations but as
they're just photos of the soldiers, both as youngsters aand as older men, I'm
not going to continue. The book will then go more quickly. And the other two I
have I think will go fairly quickly. The one I just finished was hideous.
Because the missing pages were in italics and in some cases formatted as poetry
and didn't scan, I typed them in. Good therapy for me, but very slow, as I had
to read very carefully and type very slowly. Even hen I missed hitting the
right key and instead hit the one next to it.
Quick Explanation for you newcomers. I had a *very* mild stroke--which has had
some mild effects--nothing serious. I was *very* lucky--but if you've noticed a
lot of typos in my posts that's why.
