    Do not bid for it Clive.

    The first part on Tunisia is OK, having been written by our OC Lt. Colonel David Dawnay.

    While that on Italy is accurate it is only part of the full story. It is subject to an ongoing investigation as it is taken from material which, together the balance of it, was not deposited in NIH frecords when it was printed in 1946. The book's author is not named.

    Wondered about the lack of the Authors name - after Tunisia - the Colonel became too busy trying to whip 21st TB into shape in Italy as Brigadier......

    Cheers - good to see you are still at it - you must be 90 by now - I am still catching you up - 88 this July
