Tigersblog

Howard Liddic, another son of a ”Tiger Vet”, and an active researcher and historian of the 10th AD sent me an updated copy of a list of excellent resources to use to research the history of the ”Tiger” Division. I have created a page on the website and pasted a link in the Blogroll area for anyone wishing to visit it.

Many thanks, Howard!!!

 Below is the list Howard sent:

Edit: I appologize about the formatting. Cutting and pasting from a Word document directly to the page produces strange results. The linked page in the blogroll is much easier to follow.
