I am extremely grateful for this....Over the last 15 years I have been in contact with a
number of organisations trying to obtain info, with varying degrees of success. When I saw the reference to the Japanese Record Card I did not expect to receive a copy within a day!!!!

Many Thanks, Peter

PS if you were here now I would love to buy you a pint in return. Instead I shall put something in charity box tonight.
