Oh Gosh - I am so sorry for not replying Mack  :-[ :-[ :-[ :'(

I am in the process of printing off some info about Aveluy Wood and came across your reply and no response from me  :'(

I'm not usually sooo ruuude and seemingly so ungrateful.

Please accept my apologies, I'm not sure what happened there although in my defense my hard drive did go kapputt at one point and I lost all my E-Mails, so perhaps that is why.  I'm not sure about my Wheeldon's serving but I expect that some of them did but who, I don't know?  I wanted to visit the museum to get a broader picture of George Wilshaw's life in the army and find out more about Aveluy Wood.

Again I'm very sorry and thank you Mack and Annie for all the information and for all your time it truly is very much appreciated.
