FACT FILE has come about as a result of the many enquiries I have received in relation to my published columns from callers who require details, in small portions, of some aspect of history. As a result I have started, FACT FILE, which will contain factual and concise material. It will be of benefit to school teachers setting projects or needing subject matter to discuss with their learners, parents needing help with their children’s school projects, tourist guides, advertising firms and the general public interested in history.
