The MOD is planning to scrap the cards index records relating to the those who served during the 1st World War as they believe they are surplus to requirements.

 

The information on the front of the cards has been transferred to online records, but other information about the service personell is recorded on the backs of these cards. How can such historic documents be discarded so easily.

 

Why not go the 'whole hog' and get rid of the originals of the Magna Carta and The Doomesday Book. neither of which have any practical use in this modern world.

 

Could it be that this government is covering something up and destroying the evidence prior to the General Election. :D:D:D

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??

(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))

Being someone who was buried in paperwork for best part of thirty years I would have to say the information saved is the important factor, not the paper it is on.

 

Do you know what information was on the back of the cards?

I fish, I catches a few, I lose a few, BUT I enjoys. Anglers Trust PM

Once destroyed, then any disecepency in the tranfer of the information could not be checked or verified.

 

Computer records can be corrupted or altered without leaving any trace.

 

These paper records are our heritage and should be preserved at all costs. Isn't this why we have the National Archive at Kew?
