To Paul Knoke,

Jim Lamason here.

If you would like to talk to me further please get in touch with me at my email cw1951@gmail.com

Brett,

That was good, I really looked forward to each site’s unveiling. I had several of the books, but these listings are costing me quite a bit of money!
As some one else suggested on one of the blogs, it would be cool to do this for other battles/major events…..
