I hope everyone is thinking, how the heck can I get a copy of this book! Here is how.
The book is certainly now available at Ringwood Publishing. It is also available at Waterstones bookshops although in some you may have to order it. The book is also available at other bookshops such as Browns Books for Students in Aberdeen, Amazon UK, Book Depository and so far all in paperback. I expect it is also available at other bookshops and websites.
I do hope everyone enjoys the read even if you all may not agree with some of my comments.
Next to the group photograph of Somme Platoon on page 18 of the book perhaps the photograph I most value is of D Company on page 97. But because of the size of the book these photographs are much better viewed here on the website. In the meantime here is the photograph of D Company taken in late 1956. I will eventually make sure that all the photographs from the book and perhaps others taken at this time are all available here on the website.
