How to read "Northampton News".
For a casual reader, going through the pages from start to finish is heavy going, particularly in the early issues, even if some of the names are known. It is suggested that a better approach is to go to the index, select a name with many references, indicated by the number in the first column. Then use the right arrow key to get to links to the relevant pages. Reading these in sequence will allow the reader to get a feel for the writer and their wartime experiences, and a feeling for the editor, from his asides and comments in brackets. If there is an image of the writer, an image link will appear before the page links. Additional images, if any, have links in the column below the first image link.
