Thank you Richard. If I ever come into possession of such material, I'll of course share it.

A most interesting thread - I do hope Alex will be able to get some of these 'family' memoirs published eventually.

Vig.
I never claimed to be "independent." If anything blew that chance, it's my website, http://www.billybishop.net that did that, LONG before I chose the log-in name of "Billy Bishop."

Having said that, I do try to be fair, but if I don't know what source certain information came from, or if certain information from a specific source contradicts previous information from the same source, WITHOUT proper explanation, I can't be expected to put much creedence in said information, can I.

I do however, find it interesting that three of my personal heroes, Billy Bishop, Gen. G.A. Custer, and Gen. G. S. Patton, were all surrounded by controversy of one sort or another.
