I've been following this thread with interest; the extent of knowledge & expertise shown by those replying has been amazing as well as some of the lateral thinking. The final result is far more than anyone could have expected - finding the name and history of the ACTUAL owner.

I am sure all of them would welcome some words of gratitude and appreciation from the original poster to acknowledge their efforts. Sometimes it's not realised that rootschat is not in any way like a well known search engine, but that each answer has taken time & knowledge to research.

Great work everyone  ;).

You should find thanks throughout the posts but you are absolutely right. It has been a sharp learning curve and an awful lot of research by myself of which would not of been possible without your knowledge and guidance.

From Pete and myself a heartwarming thank you to everyone concerned.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

As usual, Rootschatters work their magic to help folks!

Just as a by-the-by: MaxD posted a link to a dissertation which included a section on the Battle of Mirbat. There is a book by Rowland White called "Storm Front" which is all about this particular episode of history. I have read it and found it of interest; perhaps others might do so too.
