[QUOTE="tim4848, post: 43483, member: 2435"] apparently it will be coming to the Royal Armouries in Leeds some time in November. I very much doubt members of the public will be able to thumb through it though as it would get tattered very quickly. I suspect it will be on display in a glass cabinet or something like that. i had the same thoughts as Phil, would love to know if my grandfather was mentioned. more importantly, having watched the bbc report on this, it says it documents every operation of the SAS from inception through to the end of ww2. if that means i don't have to go down to the National Archives to read through and scan the entire WO218 series (or even just WO218/176 to WO218/223 for 2SAS) then I would happily pay ?1K for it, especially if there are photographs I've not seen before (there's plenty on here and I've seen many from Operation Archway that the son of a 2SAS member shared some time ago and his father was on the War Crimes investigation team) In the end, I do wish the National Archives would move into the 21st century and get all these documents online once and for all and available to the public for a small fee. Having said that, well done to the researcher, the regimental association and the national archives for putting this together, it must have taken a lot of hard work [/QUOTE]
