Well its now official. Geocities is now gone :(. I will be missing some of the military and in particular the WWII related pages. Especially the "Forgotten Campaign: The Dutch East Indies Campaign 1941-1942" website. There was alot of great info there. Robert

GeoCities' time has expired, Yahoo closing the site today

Don't toss out the url's just yet. These sites were probably archived by the wayback machine at archive.org. You may also find that Google still has a cached version of the pages.

Good to know you found it Robert… The alternative is to check if Google ever cached the site you are after. Sometimes you can get lucky…

I've visited Geocities a few times years ago. Sorry to see it end.

I knew it was going to happen but I thought that they might change their minds. Too bad they didn't. Robert
