The links page has been updated.
John Barham emailed the Crimean War Group at Yahoo:
"Apologies for a short period off-line which left Douglas [Austin] the chore of running my Suite 101 articles to earth. Also thanks to him for such kind words, greatly appreciated.
Just to add that the Suite 'archives' all subjects on completion. (Whilst one could never own to 'completing' writing about the War, I suppose I ground to a halt which amounted to the same thing under their rules.) When 'archived' several irritating things happen. All trimmings disappear including the 'welcome' page, hence the eventual url change. Most important, all links from the articles are disabled. That means that the illustrations, maps, plans and other visuals I thought essential to the articles are no longer available. (Luckily the orbats were presented as separate articles) However I do have all the originals in New Zealand and some available from my computer here and I will be happy to scan on request if not immediately, at least from October.
It is also a pain that the text is presented in nibble-sized pages, so I would recommend downloading and reformatting before reading.
Since this has come up, I would like to draw attention to the five articles on the Sardinian Army in the series. Herman Van Meir wrote these for me, after detailed research of the original Italian language sources - a challenge to which he responded admirably after I had issued it when his perceptive questioning on the subject had left me at a loss."
