Greetings Harry!

I would be mighty grateful if you would be so kind as to post fax numbers
to me. That would be very helpful. By the way, a George Bailey of the AWM
sent me a web site address, which is http://www.adfa.oz.au/~awm/   so you
could try that. I'm just about to give it a go. I plan to study some of
the exhibitions in the memorial for my doctorate, being on
representations of war in Australian museums.

As you work in a war museum, I was wondering what aspects of which wars
you might have recently been putting on display. Hey! Have you got a web
site at the Canadian War Musuem? Wouldn't mind having a look if you do.

Anyway, thank you for the offer of the fax addresses, it is much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Craig
