Thanks for the advert Jonathan

Or a more amusing source.
Ah an article from four years ago, re-search still ongoing and views and opinions change.


Quote:
The Official Regimental history of the 8th Gurkha Rifles. By Leutenant-Colonel H.J. Huxford. Published in 1952
A very rare book, which seems to be your main source, as you have posted scanned pictures of the text you refer to in other books in the past, could you do the same again Jonathan?

Rare and expensive Spiral! So as you already have the book, can you scan and post like you have done before?

It is pretty clever, but it would be nice if Jonathan could oblige with a copy of the text though

Default I say spend the money

I say spend the money, 150quid is nix in the bigger picture. I certainly spend more money that I care to think about on book titles found within these pages and others...I actually don't think I am far off obtaining almost every titile mentioned here, the books are worth than any weapon could be in my opinion. If one is serious about learning, this is what has to be done, sometimes you just can't sit and wait for free handouts.

How right you are Gav .. the number of collectors I know who are too mean to buy a £30 reference book .. but will waste £100 on an item that is wrong !
