 | It's supposed to be a good book. I've seen it ebay a couple of times and thought ummmm, but always bought something else instead. Let us know what you think.

  |  Just arrived in the post, The Tiger Kills HMSO. Looks a great little book, superb photo of Messervy and his GSO1 looking very battle worn. Unfortunately not on the IWM site but very taken same time as this one. E 7236 Other photos show the different Indian troops and their headwear. Cheers for the heads up Kyt & Bod.

But it's a great place any other time, and the countryside is good too. VP, this shop is good for both browsing and online: Hay on Wye Booksellers : Second Hand Books : Military : 1

| Wouldn't dream of going during the festival... As you've both picked out the same shop I'll have to check that out (already found four from my list on there  ) Prices seem reasonable too.
