Dan, How can this info on 425/17 be integrated with the known "FActs" of the Extant fabric samples.
1.They contain NO streaked Olive Brown under the RED!
2.All crosses have undergone ALL changes per orders.
This statement indicates that 425/17 was indeed MvR's prior to the Dates you give? " Prior to the March Offensive". This puts 425/17 as MvRs before the move to Lechelle doesn't it? Or am I reading it wrong?
Thanks for clarification,
