Port, well if you like the stuff then try a “cheeky Vimto”, add a double shot of port to a large glass containing ice and top up with Blue WKD, just make sure you don’t drink more than five or six or you will be singing and making a holy show of yourself <G>. Ian. Sounds interesting, however I drink wines and fortified wines because I am unable to drink anything that has carbonation. This time of year I would love a nice cool beer. I am particularly fond of wheat beers in the summer. I'm not a heavy drinker or even drink often but I do like to enjoy and savor what I drink. I'm not sure we have an equivalent of WKD in the US.

Before you get all that thankful Chris, I want to ask you if you have ever known me to do anything without reason> Such was the case here, obviously misunderstood by both ness10 and others. There are three immediate sources for what ness10 required. I listed each of them - Fred's Book "Participants". The unit records themselves, of which five are in the hands of the active squadrons of the regiment, and the remaining seven held at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) I am absolutely a stickler for proper designations being used. That should not be any surprise to you. That is why she was corrected on using F Company, when the proper designation is Company F, 7th Cavalry. It seems NARA is such a stickler as well, and any request she would have sent in for F Company, 7th Cavalry would have been rejected as an unknown unit, non-existent in NARA records. The same would happen if you requested information on your own ship USS Enterprise without appending CV(N) 65. It would be rejected. So before anyone leaps to the conclusion again that I am just being a bastard, read what I write before that conclusion is reached. I am a bastard, but not for the reasons assumed. So to the heart of the matter. No one knew this poster was from the UK. Had that been the case I would not have mentioned active unit records in that they would not under any circumstances be available to her. Those in NARA, those not classified that is are, and available to both domestic and foreign requests. Fred's book is available to people in the UK. So except for classified material and active unit records the point is moot. I have learned though a great lesson from this. My friends always have a free library card for both my material and my time, and know they may request such services and it will be provided. All others will pay the going rate for my business services, and their research starts the moment the check clears. No more will I entertain any posted request from Tom, Dick, or Mary. Just to give you an idea, the material I have provided so far for Ian's web site, were he not a friend, but rather a customer would have already topped the five grand mark. He did not pay a dime, and he was appreciative of my efforts. I am so not impressed. You have removed your earlier posts so we can't see that you did, in fact, go into an immediate rant about terminology. If you had some help for the questioner in there, I missed it among your pompous rantings. Diane

Then I expect you also missed the fact that she inserted and underlined the word individual, which was not a part of the original post, her only requesting information on Company F. Guidance on where to find information on Company F was provided.
I am not trying to impress you or her, or anyone else. I provided the information, then withdrew it because of your message. I was not trying to offend her or you, so what seemed offensive was withdrawn.
Now there would have been no need for you to miss anything had you read it before you posted. Obviously you didn't, or your post would have said something on the order of --- Do you have any information on unit members, rather than the unit itself. I do not and would have gladly shared that with both you and her.
My only intention here was to help this poster find what I thought she was looking for. THAT'S ALL.
I think if you would read Montrose's posts concerning the fighting qualities and poor leadership of Company F, which are still up, you would conclude that he took her original message in the same manner I did, the company, not the people.

Always the same with you. Bully boy rantings until you get called out and then you always flip it around and try to play the poor victim. Why delete your post?? Because like all bullies, you cower when called out.

He is the root cause of all the issues this board has had over the years. He is a parasite.

“ee by gum” it’s started to rain, sorry Mac it came too late for your boys but there are four more tests to go and no one in their right mind should write off the aussies.
Justin I see Sam Burgess has been included in the England RU squad for the world cup, funny enough they have picked him as a back!

Dave, As Ian may have retired for the evening, I will take a whack. RU=Rugby Union, tests=prelims.

Test matches relate to Cricket I think, but do not have a clue what they are. Mac will know when he comes on later, as he is an avid Cricket fan.

Well boys I am still active, Chuck is correct with RU rugby union, the tests are cricket internationals, we are currently entertaining the Australian cricket team in an ashes tests series. Oh and "ee by gum" is what they say in Yorkshire, ruffly translated means "what the hell"
Ian.

The difference being Montrose addressed her question in a civil and respectful manner. You got a stick up your butt and attacked. Now you're spinning trying to defend your boorish antics. You are moving from school yard bully to class clown. Keep up the great work.

Chuck, cut Diane some slack, she sufferers fools much better than the rest of us. Let her do it her way, I enjoy allowing a horses backsides to continue to post to themselves. If new folks have a problem let them tell us. They can ask for what they want, if they are not vague I will answer as bet I can. With all of the books at hand I can look it up.
Regards, Tom
