Access Heritage Inc (formerly The Discriminating General)'s Favourite Links
We started this page in 1995.
At that time the internet was in its infancy.
There were only a handful of
military heritage sites.
Now there are literally thousands.
Because of this we
have not continued to maintain this page.
However there are still links of interest
here.
Enjoy.
