I have now completed the review. I have considered whether the correct procedures were followed and assessed the reasons why we neither confirmed nor denied we held the information requested. I confirm that I was not involved in the initial handling of your request. My findings are set out in the attached report. My conclusion is that the original response was correct to neither confirm nor deny whether any information is held in accordance with sections 23(5), 24(2) and 31(3) and 40(5) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, although we were at fault in citing section 40(5)(a), when we should have cited section 40(5)(b)(i) to neither confirm nor deny we hold any personal information in relation to McGartland. These exemptions relate to information about, or relating, to certain security bodies, national security, law enforcement and personal information. This should not be taken as conclusive evidence as to whether such information does or does not exist. This completes the internal review process by the Home Office.

Battle Re-Enactment in Our PLI Policy: He Was and Still Is Active in an American Civil War Group and Thus Emerged the Second Half, Collectively ‘Living History’
1 battle re-enactment in our PLI policy: he was and still is active in an American Civil War group and thus emerged the second half, collectively ‘living history’. Re-enactment got off to a shaky start with administrative obstruction on all sides. Many police forces opted to require re-enactment firearms held on certificates to have barrel obstructions to ‘prevent’ live ammunition being used. This was part of a wider policy of restricting a firearm solely to the ‘good reason’ for which it had been granted. Live ammunition shooters fared no better at the hands of the so-called public servants in firearms administration. The Met, for SHOOTERS’ JOURNAL example, decided that there was no legal Published by TSRA Ltd way to take a gun to a shoot. The firearm PO Box 3, Cardigan SA43 1BN certificate condition said it had to be locked ISSN 2398-3310 away at all times except when in actual use, which meant any attempt to take a firearm to a range would only avoid prosecution if CONTENTS Page undetected.

Setting Style
FFFALSE DDDAWAWAWNAW NNN Genocide is not merely a brutal tool of the concentration camps liberated by the Allied advance. A more insidious form has stalked the territories subjugated by Hitler for a decade. Nazi intellectuals and party officials have picked through the spoils, seeking Aryan glory and personal profit alike. Family heirlooms, dealers’ inventory, religious implements, library stock and museum collections were all targets. Now that the war is winding down in Europe, someone needs to try and sort things out. But not every owner was harmed – some aesthetes made good money dealing with the Nazis, even at the expense of their countrymen – and not every objet d’art is harmless. And since Stalin appears just as rapacious as Hitler, not every German will remain an enemy. Setting False Dawn is a Trail of Cthulhu setting which takes place at the end of World War Two and the beginning of the postwar cleanup. Most of continental Western Europe is open to this setting. France and the Low Countries were the primary foreign victims of German looting (although Jewish communities across Axis-held regions suffered indiscriminately). Neutral nations like Spain and Switzerland were involved in the preservation and trade of artworks as well. Activity is possible in Poland and Hungary – countries which were looted twice – since it takes several years for the Iron Curtain to descend. Even fascist allies Italy and Austria endured the depredations of their more powerful neighbor (Austria, divided like Germany until the 1950s, is an excellent spot for similar intrigues in the capital and along the zone borders).
