Not to hijack this thread, but 55th, I owe you a beer! I'm doing graduate research on WWI British military intelligence and have been looking for one of those documents (Intelligence Duties in the Field) literally in libraries around the world. I'd like to talk to you offboard about your collection and how you digitized them. I've got a similarly-sized collection that I'd like to make available for others. Thanks, Jeff |

its mostly down to google-fu a lot of the documents come from Combined Arms Research Library (CARL) Digital Library cgsc.contentdm.oclc.org and also from Archive.org archive.org its down to knowing what to put in the searches that helps I have also building a rig that allows me to photograph the pages in a book that holds the pages at a 45deg angle that prevents the pages distorting in the image if you want to email use a55thdivision@hotmail.co.uk this is a temporary email that will be deleted in a month also is that a GAU-8 Avenger in your pocket or are you just happy to be here |

and back to the thread my next project is a 3d map of the Somme battlefield in 1/10000 scale so that I can run a series of Kriegspeil games to see if the battle could have been won |
