The 34 instances of Koekemder have been corrected to Koekemoer. That was caused by my misreading.

Hudson,

As you probably found, the entries are listed in descending alphabetical order. I can fix this for the initial upload but once replied are posted, the default will be to place these at the top of the list. The easiest way to find the Badenhorsts or anyone else will either be through the search (in addition to the 69 people with surname Badenhorst, the search up those who served under General Badenhorst and those with forenames including Badenhorst, 89 in total) or the name search utility (not yet implemented) or a separate alphabetic page that links to the forum (also not yet implemented).

I should also say that the data on the test site will not be transferred to the live site. Instead, the live site will be populated from separate source documents. So, can I ask that you don't add any real data to the test site as this will be lost.

Of course, once the roll is available on the live site, it would be great if you can help to build the content for these ABO recipients.

Thanks Hudson. That's very helpful. I have looked at the source data for quite a while now to try to ensure its accuracy so another pair is eyes is always useful.

I am planning to create the ABO roll on the live site next week so if you have any comments or suggestions on the roll on the test site, please let me know.

With thanks
David

PS, if successful, I was thinking about creating similar forum posts for the recipients of the Natal 1906 Medal and the BSA Co Medal to expand the range of member-maintained medal rolls.
