Wow, would the missus let me pack in the job, move to Portsmouth and leave her with the kids for a year??

James Joyce wrote, in Ulysses:
"There’s a saying of Goethe’s which Mr Magee likes to quote. Beware of what you wish for in youth, because you will get it in middle life."
There are a LOT of these casualty packs and someone might take you up on your offer ...

Dear All
Does anyone know how the release of the Casualty Packs are going?
Fingers crossed
James
I managed to get access to a couple through a Freedom of Information Act request, they were both for casualties in 1939 so I was surprised that they weren't in the released batch for the period.
A couple of names were censored out but through my own research I was able to identify these people anyway.
If my memory serves me correctly, the volunteers that they were seeking to help with the transfer project were not due to start work until September this year, so my guess is that (sadly) there will have been very little progress on the matter.
