Thanks doc.

I can copy and paste the the smaller original copies but not enlarge them to send to Sylvia. And I cannot copy and paste the enlarge ones. Any suggestions how I can get copies of the enlarge versions to send?

If so please keep the instructions in kindergarten (nursery School) level, cos that's my level with computers.

Cheers, Rodney

Doc.

Elevate me to first grade, I pushed the right buttons I guess, I got the enlarge ones.

Thanks mate, they're on there way to Aunt Sylvia.

I found the information of convoy PQ13. on Wikipedia to have an error. It stated that the ship SS Bateau sank in the Bering Sea. I knew as this was wrong as I've fished for halibut in the Bering sea. It is the sea that separates Alaska from Russia.

SS Bateau sank roughly two days sailing from Murmansk in the Artic Ocean. Thus Sylvia's Father Frederick Henry Rowlands qualifies for the medal Arctic Star. I have downloaded the forms, filled one out for Sylvia to copy and it's off to her by mail.

That's my news, her news is the medals have been found, her sister had a bunch of boxes left by her mother up in the attic. As the whole family has got excited about the discoveries you guys and girls have found and your ideas, the sister opened the boxes and found them.

I've explained to Sylvia that reproductions of the medals are very reasonable and everyone that wants medals can get them, plus have display boxes as have been suggested.

So, thank you all so very much, none of these wonderful event like the sisters having a common goal, all having an opportunity to end up with medals each for their individual families, etc. etc.

A really appreciative Rodney

Great News Rodney and so glad that all is now solved and complete, well as far as we can go.

Hope that the Lady in question will now be able to rest.
Cheers
