Thanks. That might just do.

My Rorke's Drift diorama is complete but I now have an urge to add a dog to it. Surgeon Reynolds, the official medico who was at the Drift during the battle, had a pet dog named apparently named Pip. As well as providing companionship, it was claimed that during the evening of the battle, Pip...

Doing a little research on behalf of a family member whose Grandfather is supposed to have served in the British military, possible RAF, during WW2. Having trouble tracking down a site where these records might be accessed. Any help or suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you, Brian

Thanks very much Bob, these look perfect. Have just placed an order for 10. Handy site as well.

Thank Brad for another option. My problem is that at 75 my eyes and general motor skills are a bit shot, But I'll see if I can try and tackle something like this.

Thanks Scott, I think that might work. Much appreciated.
