Please note that this will be a large growth post as I will add historical material to demonstrate the great deel of preparation that was made and the defeat that followed was not for want of effort or intelligent thought by the majority of people on the spot. Unfortunately like all matters of human endeavour "one sin of of commision or omission" can undo the efforts of contless others.

Once again please comment as I have many items to post and any suggestions on the priorties or directions of effort would be most thankfully received.

Thanks for all your forebearence ...... and foregiveness for contining crimes againt the English Language.

Geoff
