Well Thomas & all, here is the University of Durban - Westville website:

http://www.udw.ac.za/

It was No 1 on a "dogpile" search (which uses Google, Yahoo etc):

http://www.dogpile.com/

and Prof McCracken (on the Irish in the Boer War) from a search
of the website for him under staff, see:
http://appser.udw.ac.za/appser/contact1.cfm?text=McCracken&Submit=Go

his email is
but perhaps you should azddress him as Prof McCracken, not "dizzy"!

Yours, John Wilson (New Zealand)
