Sure, I just wanted to make sure you know that this is a Group project and may take six months or more to complete. That can be a little daunting for newer DPLs but if you're up for it, we'll be glad to have you. :)

Oh that is a very long time for me :( Sorry I won't be able to DPL for you guys. But I can PL certain sections if you don't find a DPL.

Hi, it looks like this one has two uncataloged authors:
Andrew Soutar (1879 – 1941)
Athelstane Hicks (? - ?)

These have been added to the author database. Athelstane Hicks is a more common name than one might think. Who would have guessed? :lol:
