Once again I thank you Sir. Your patience, responsiveness and assistance is so much appreciated as I have waded through all my fathers papers and documentation. Obviously he is no longer around, so as a non naval person I need to do as much research as I can from Australia via the web, libraries etc but when I strike a dead end it is this forum that I come to. I salute you.
