(Q) Who runs the website?
(A) The setting up, development and maintenance of the website is
undertaken by me, Geoff Slee. The website was first published in 2000 with a
few pages and a few thousands visits per year. In May 2009 the website had
close to 150 pages varying in length from 20,000 words to a few hundred with
around 250,000 visits from around the world. |

(Q) Who contributes to the website?
(A) Most of the website content has come from veterans, their
families, individuals and personal research. Without the support and
interest of many hundreds of people the website would not be the success it
is today. You know who you are - thank you warmly on behalf of the million +
visitors to date and future generations that take an interest. |

(Q) If I have information or photos that might be of interest to
you what should I do?
(A) Please don't hesitate to get in touch; even the smallest detail can
usefully add to the historical record of these important times. E-mail
attachment is the most popular method of sending material but a proportion
is received through the post. |

(Q) Why can't you answer questions from anyone? (A) I would so much like to do that but just maintaining the existing
pages and adding new ones is a big task and the memorial to
Combined Operations also claims a share of my time. Unfortunately I've had
to restrict this service to members and those who donate their membership
fee to the Combined Operations Memorial Fund. |
