In the search for the roll for the Xalanga Mounted Rifles, the NA allowed me access to the original roll for WO100/278. The NA rarely lets the rolls be accessed now that they have been filmed and scanned.

Here are some pictures of this magnificent volume.

The volumes are large as this comparison with a laptop shows



Detail from the spine



The books have been well used over the years

Thanks David for sharing, they truly are amazing and what a difference the different coloured comments make when trying to understand the roll

Jon,

I agree. The coloured versions are a lot easier to read and a welcome change from the black and white versions we are used to.

Full marks that man. You didn't perhaps locate the missing CoCR rolls did you David?
