Untitled

The group that previously hosted the "Victoria Cross Reference" is importing their records over here, but they are not keeping their previous format, causing conflicts. Their old structure/format was fine, but it would be better if they kept it on their own servers, IMO.

Cleanup

I have cleaned up this article but am aware that much personal information that will be important and valuable to David MacKay's family has been lost. It is just unsuitable for an encyclopaedia. Perhaps the migration project would like to review their strategy. Cutler July 2, 2005 11:53 (UTC)
