Welcome back! I have your QM’s album and have been looking out for the other two books but so far to no avail. They are all of special interest to me.

Provost NCO Posted 4 February , 2023 Share Posted 4 February , 2023 On 24/02/2013 at 17:08, Muerrisch said: Firstly I declare an interest. I wrote the Foreword, and contributed a little material. Those who bought my Duty Done will note that this book is similar but geographically driven, not 2nd Battalion confined. The book goes to the printer in the next few days, and, quite simply, I believe the GWF members should have a chance to buy it. It is a 20 year labour of love by a Brummie, son of a decorated 2nd RWF L-Cpl. 217 pages of A4 crammed, absolutely crammed, with biographies and many many photographs of Midlanders in the RWF 1900 to 1919. The author and I are determined that this memorial to the men should see the light of day, and are financing a very short production run to see how it goes. I believe it will be hoovered up: many of the men's famillies still live in Birmingham, and these people [many of them contributors of photos, anecdotes, artefacts] will want a copy with "our Fred" honoured at last. So there you are: £20 a pop to include 2nd class UK post and packing. Please PM me with your email address if interested. Before I add here the Contents list, note that I have reported myself to the Mods who will, I am sure, see fair play.
