I do know the difference between T and C.

Not only for your benefit Don, but for others who may confuse people
with the same name :-)

The piece in question must be the first paragraph of your reply:

"You are wasting your time looking for Sarah in CWGC records unless
she was a member of the Armed Forces on duty."

I have to admit, it does appear to imply that unless you were a
member
of the armed forces on duty then you wouldn't warrant an entry in
the
CWGC site, i.e. no civilians are included

Perhaps you are referring to a different event?

No Peter, I said exactly what I said.

Indeed you did Don, and included was the following:

"You are wasting your time looking for Sarah in CWGC records unless
she was a member of the Armed Forces on duty."

I'm not sure what meaning you meant that phrase to have, but my
reading of it tells me that you are of the opinion that there are no
civilians listed in the CWGC website - "unless she was a member of the
Armed Forces on duty"

What meaning did you want that to have?

So my advice to the OP stands as good as the day it was given,
and it wasn't given in the form mistranscribed by Jeff and assented
without checking by Peter C and Bill.

Can you confirm that my transcription (a cut and paste from Google
Groups) is accurate, and that you did write "unless she was a member
of the Armed Forces on duty"?

I think it's important that people are accurate in what they write and
likewise fully understand what they read
