Thank you for your kind words about the website. Hopefully each reader/viewer will have time to go through all of the original material from beginning to end. If so, it will convey an unforgettable appreciation for warfare at the time.

 

Thanks also goes to the Forum for a platform to share what we've learned.

 

Sincerely,

 

Site Manager

It appears that some or all of the documents quoted or sourced in the numerous entries, by name and unit of troop, were in large measure collected by you?

 

It looks interesting as a historical resource, and must take a lot of time and effort to assemble and publish.

Hi, Bluehawk:

 

I am the temporary custodian of all of the original wartime period primary source material you see reflected on the website (not including the period footage with each story file). It took roughly three years to acquire everything needed to make the site what it is today.

 

At the same time, one year was spent transcribing the material (mostly handwritten) into something easier to read, and several months were dedicated to building the website itself. As you might have noticed, it's still a work in progress in some areas...

 

Overall, it's been a rewarding project throughout and I'm honored to give back something of enduring value to the Forum community for free.

 

Sincerely,

 

Site Manager

Hi, Sand Flea:

 

I've been away for work but wanted to thank you for spending some time at The War You Know military history site. If you have an opportunity, it's fascinating to compare the period footage (what was projected often publicly at the time) with the personal communications and thoughts in each story file.

 

Also, I've added more original wartime material to the website for you and the forum community. Have a good evening -

 

Sincerely,

 

Site Manager
