29th January 2003	London Gazettes - through the web By Martin Everett I draw your attention to the following site which I understand has been available for about 4 weeks - I have not yet been able determine how useful it might be, but no doubt readers will be able to assess its value as a research tool for themselves. www.gazettes-online.co.uk Good hunting

29th January 2003	John Young Sadly a search of the archived material shows that it only starts from 1st January, 1900. This makes it an excellent tool for discovering details of subsequent honours & awards gazetted to Anglo-Zulu War veterans post that date. Hopefully as time progresses the archive might take the search further back, and although us delve into the mists of time.

29th January 2003	Steve Tiplady I have used this site recently to try and track down a specific issue of the London Gazette Supplement which contains a reference to my grandfather who was awarded the DSM in World War 2. I have to say I didn't have much success, however I contacted them by telephone using the contact details on the website and found them very helpful . Steve
