Hi Annie,
Let me introduce myself first, I am the eldest grandson of Lt Frank Alberry DCM I actually grew up with him next door until his death but at least he saw me married in 1967. I have known his stories all my life and due to a family cousin of my father his story would have never reached this forum (the man's name is Jim Prendergast)
I am in the process of working with the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Australia looking for records of his brother Dr Gordon Alberry who was one of the 1st flying doctors that worked for flynn who started the RFDS.

Hello Annie,
Re WW1 tanks - is there a good reference book on WW1 British Armoured cars? My father served with the Machine Gun Corps in Mesopotamia (Iraq) where he had his 18th birthday and was promoted to sergeant on the same day. They had 2 types of armoured cars - one was an Austin and the other was Rolls Royce. I klnow a little about the vehicles from what my father said, but if you know of a reference book could you let me know please?

Hi Annie - As I have said in my PM to you, I too have received 2 of these nasty little PMs.

The worrying thing is that it means the site has obviously been hacked into or else a guest would not have been able to PM everybody.

I see you have not been in the forum for almost a fortnight so I hope you are well my friend.

Annie.
I have now received another message that purports to come from a Forum administrator, who is clearly nothing of the sort as ID says Junior member. Here is the text of the message:

[LadyXAdmin]Dear, rugbyremembers!

A virus alert was noticed on your computer.
We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: http://antivirus.effectmeds.com/rugbyremembers
----------------------------------------------------
Sincerely, Forum Administration ww1talk.co.uk.

I worry that it is so easy for dangerous spam and virus links to be posted - two in a week. I have AVG security and you cannot run a virus check on a remote site as they suggest. I subscribe to several WW1 forums and have not had this problem elsewhere. I do not know Wise one mentioned below, but you are the most familiar name and frequent poster on this site, so if you can alert any technical guru, that would be really helpful.

Annie
Sent this PM to the Wise One

O wise one
Got a very bad PM from a GUEST with one of those links that tell you your PC is infected with a virus.
I use Kaspersky Internet Security.

Hi

You have a nutter loose sorlley811 - has sent that virus to me too!

Sorry Annie that should be sorlley811

Annie, I believe you may be amoderator/ adminsitrator

I have reason to believe that a new member sorlley11 is a spammer/scammer as I have just received a PM ( as have 4/5 others from what I can see) that is clearly malicious. I have left it in my inbox if you can see. If not let me know and i will cut and paste to you

Done it again

Hi Annie. Thanks for all your help on 75th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery. Have just returned from France, what a humbling experience, I will post details on my thread if anyone wishes to read. Regards John Davies.
