Truly Annoying News

Post by Jack ONeill »

All,

It is with great annoyance I bring this news to you - the Nafziger OOB Collection at the Combined Arms College or whatever no longer will retrieve any OOBs from any period other than the American Civil War. I have tried various permutations and combinations of names and dates, but to no avail. The PDF finder still lists hundreds of OOBs, but you can't get to them. Pretty sucky, I must say. If anyone else has a good reference for OOBs for any period, please post it. All my reference materials are still in storage, (he types with gritted teeth...). Not a good Day.

Jack,

I wasn't familiar with the collection but I found this.

Hi Jack, the links on the PDF seem to still work. I just pulled some 1809 OOBs using it. The search facility on the webpage doesnt work though.

G,

Thanks. Will try it again. Didn't want to work for me awhile ago.

The links worked for me as well.
