I had seen some data written, post war, on Freeman, but cannot now find the copies I made of this additional data, too, but will also add this at a later date. Because of some major research work I am currently involved in, I have put most of my CSN work on hold for a short period, but will continue on it at a later stage. I have had some interesting data found in recent months on CSN personnel.
