THE HGS NEEDS YOU! The HGS ‘Britons Dying Overseas’ (BDO) transcription programme is up and running and we need volunteers Volunteers will be required to transfer data from index cards to Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, for uploading to the HGS BDO website.

A knowledge of Microsoft Excel is helpful but full training will be given, face-to face at the HRO in Winchester, at your home (near Winchester) or via Zoom. If you are interested in helping us then please contact John Bowman bowman92@btinternet.com
