* The city of Fernandina Beach has received a grant from the federal government for improvements to its marina. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has awarded the city $1.6 million for marina improvements that would specifically benefit transient vessels

* In the last few months, fish and bird species have been popping up in places they're not normally found -- an Arctic bird off St. Augustine Beach, an armored catfish normally in South America found in the Indian River Lagoon, spiny dogfish normally farther north found in Ponce de Leon Inlet

Dear Patricia,
When I came across this report, I thought I may have solved the CableCutting episode:
1104 FANNING ISLAND: REMARKABLE COLLECTION OF
ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHS COMPILED BY GEORGE GUISLEY,
EMPLOYEE OF THE PACIFIC CABLE BOARD & A MEMBER OF
THE FANNING ISLAND VOLUNTEER RESERVE DURING WORLD
WAR ONE (1913-1918) fine range of photos, neatly
pasted in place and captioned in a leather bound
volume, 58pp. 7"x 12". Including some 120 views of
Fanning Island, the cable station built in 1902, the
men who worked there, the members of the Royal Navy
garrison and the F.I.V.R., the native inhabitants,
the collection of the mail, the German cruiser
'Nürnberg' which raided the island in Nov. 1914, the
German forces during their brief occupation, the
destruction caused by the Germans to the cable
station, the wreck of the Pacific Cable Board's
schooner 'Strathcona', etc., etc. Also containing
some 70 additional photos recording Guisley's visit
to Honolulu, plus a few personal photos. The
photographs are of varying size, some have postcard
backs and are mostly of good quality. An exceptional
and possibly unique photographic record of life on
the small Pacific island during wartime and its most
turbulent episode. Only three months after the
German raid, the 'Nürnberg' was sunk in the Battle
of the Falklands, with 7 survivors from a complement
of 295 men. ***
The link to a report about the Cable Station at Fanning Island, and the visit in 1914 by the German light cruiser
Nurnberg.
But Fanning Island is in the Pacific Ocean in Micronesia, I will send a description of Fanning ISland separately in
case it is of interest.
Regards,
Mac.

Many soldiers transferred from Regiment to Regiment
This list is still being compiled and will take a long
time to complete. If the letter is not linked it is not
yet complete.
A vast amount of assistance in compiling this list was
given by Ken Larbalestier crossbows2@msn.com.au it is
with much thanks we add the information he supplied and
typed.
If not for his work and assistance many soldiers would
never have been listed.
