Does anybody own a copy of this title? I've just discovered that the author, a gunner and wartime Lieut-col (post-war colonel) was the captain of A-Coy, 11th (HAC) Royal Horse Artillery in 1942, which put him at Ruweisat Ridge with ROBCOL, an interest of mine. I'd be grateful if anybody could who has or has read it could say how many pages he devotes to the experience. He had an 'interesting' war, subsequently serving with 1 Fd Regt R.A., then 5th Ind Div in PAIFORCE and later moving to Burma with the division and transferring to 136 (1st West Lancashire) Field Regiment and finally 33 Indian Infantry Brigade HQ.
