I am happy to see a website that is contributing to discussion and documenting something, and if my pictures help that discussion, well and good. In fact, for "Fair Use" in discussions, I have probably been guilty of the same thing. A picture says a thousand words, and it saves me typing! I am happy too for the credit to go to MLU, if it was Photobucket et al, they would claim ownership and copyright of the image in any case!

I would have an issue if it was a commercial website promoting a product, or a seller on e-bay using my pictures to (mis)represent an item they are selling.

gjamo, IF however, you are in the mood to contact the website, you could tell them that while the accepted abbreviation for pound is "lb", the nomeclature for Artillery pieces is customarily shown as "Pdr", ie 2Pdr, 6Pdr, 25Pdr, etc. That is well documented with the wartime GMH publications, but a few of the more modern articles by current authors have fallen foul with a couple of 25lbers, 6lbers. Small bikkies in an otherwise great resource on GM-H production.
