Thanks for doing this PT - I’m sure it’s a lot of hard work, but I’m also sure George McIntyre would have been delighted at your efforts with his carefully collected materials. Thanks again.

Re: World War I Gallery
Thanks Meg.
Threetowners provides an excellent forum for publicly recording data collected by George, and which hopefully, in addition to “remembering” those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, will also prove useful to family and other researchers in the future.
With regard to this particular topic, he’s left enough photographs to keep me going until mid-July, and at the end of the day the “GALLERY” will comprise only a fraction of the number of local men who were lost in the prime of their lives in World War I.
