Several, I manager at your lacrosse club has recently divorced and moved home, his home being a lot smaller he said I could have plenty of his history books at the moment I have seven:

The Buisiness of war - Sir John Kennedy
Periscope View - George Simpson
Memoirs of Sergeant Bourgogne 1812 - 1813
Fort Eban Email
The German Invasion Of Norway
Images of War The Crushing of Poland
Images Of War Liberators in England in world war two - Peter Bodle Fraes
Inferno in the Nazi Valhalla - John Kaszas

Quite a library to read but very happy, every book was free of charge.

Plenty to keep me going

My mother plucked this book (among others) from the jaws of some evil mice, and gave it to me recently.



It's an album for a kind of trading pictures so beloved in former times. This one deals with the German colonies and dates from 1936. As such it has clear tendencies towards revisionist and fashist politics. Anyway, the pictures are quite nice, and the texts provided are very interesting documents of their time.

You don't need to know this, but I think I know someone who will come in his pants seeing this... Hell, *I* was close to.

Fortunately, the beasts didn't get through to the pictures. My grandpa seemingly put a lot of money into this. A shame that no one cared until my mother rescued it.
If anyone's interested, just drop me a line, I'm willing to share photos for detailed studies. ;)

I for one would love to see those plates published some where. I have a couple of freinds that I game with that would like to see them too. Perhaps you could post some more details about this book.

Stirling's men by Gavin Mortimer in hardcover. Picked up in the Humane Society second hand book shop on Grand cayman island for $CI 3.00 which is about $USD 3.75!

Fantastic read and more about the people than the ops but a very good perspective, written from interviews with the survivors in the early 2000s (noughties).
Cheers,

Anniversary presents from my fantastic wife.





I'd already read the library's copy of Lords of the Sea but it was so good I wanted a copy for my personal collection.
