Ladies and Gentlemen,
I last year published "A Moment In Time : The British Army", in a limited run edition. Upon completion of the sale of the books, I offered it up on various websites FREE for interested person. For some reason I could not get onto this website until this week.
This offer is as per the printed hard copy of the book less the illustrations (124 photos, and 70 badge drawings, the property respectively of my youngest son, and the eldest son of my eldest, and are not on the file for copyright reasons). Converted from A3 to A4, filling 456 pages.
5,000 + have gone out (with many respondents stating they have sent it on, one chap to 109 others). It has also been put up on nine websites.
There has only been one genuine error found in it, by Bob Griffin, the author of two authoritive books on the Chieftain, and Conqueror tanks. This relating to dozer blades on Challenger tanks, and was a transcription error from my handwritten notes to the PC.
There have been plenty of people telling me that entries were in variance with WIKEPEDIA and suchlike, all have received from me references to authoritive sources. One of the reasons why I am giving it out for free is need to correct the wholescale inaccuracies prevalent upon the internet.
I am informed by many recepients that it is a authoritive reference tool, that covers a vast amount of material, including much relating to Commonwealth and foreign military forces. Such as the regimental alligences between the Bns of The Royal Australian Regiment and the Regiments of Footguards, or exchange personnel. Also the Royal Marines, nuclear weapons security, the RAF Regiment, UK Special Forces, and military parachuting, equipment, unit organisations, foreign enlistments, drill, military music, history, and trivia right down to the cost of a one man ration pack, and why there are 13 studs in a Guardsmans boot sole.
If you want a copy please send a email to gam47@bigpond.com - DO NOT CUT AND PASTE type the address in otherwise my software will reject the message, and place your address within the body of the message text, it saves time for me.
I wrote the book, with in mind what would I want in such a book.
Yours,
G/.
