Hi Annie,

How long do you have to wait for the book??? Well its in its final draft stage, it is just a matter of finding a publisher. I have one chap who will publish it if I give him 10K. If all else fails that might be the path I take. I am hoping the book will be released just before ANZAC Day 2010.

As for a photo of Reginald's grave I would love one. I have a problem of paying someone for a photo of a grave......even if it is a donation.......it's just me I guess.

His is a fascinating chapter in the book.

Regards,

Andrew.
