    Hi Simon. Yes, I think I still have Pete's article somewhere. In fact, fellow forummer Nigel & I were with him when he found the bullets - they came from a site in the Ypres Salient. It was a great loss to our sport/interest when Pete passed away. I will always owe him a huge debt of gratitude, as that visit was the first time I'd been over to the WW1 battlefields. I'd wanted to go for years, but was just a bit shy of taking the plunge. Pete's response was; 'I'm going over again soon, you can come with me!' And that started something that has become a major interest in my life, with multiple trips over there each year (Covid-19 not withstanding!).......

    Wasn't the article entitled 'McBride's Magic Bullets', or something along those lines....?
