The Lighter Side / Re: Getting sidetracked by something you've seen

Another great sidetrack is while looking up information in old newspapers. I am suddenly amazed by how inexpensive round steak was in 1927 or how badly the home football team was beaten on Saturday. I should probably go back and just read the old news when I have nothing important to do.

One of my biggest sidetracks has been census records from my home town. If I am looking up one particular entry, I end up going up the street and down the other finding my friends great grandparents or some such information not related to my search.

World War One / Re: Can anyone tell which medals these are please?

I would like to find a listing of those New Zealanders who were awarded the Military Medal (for bravery in the field) during WW1. Does anyone know where such a list exists online? I am hoping that there is also a description of the action for which the medal was awarded.
