Sue Light Posted 1 October , 2004 Share Posted 1 October , 2004 I paid a visit this morning to my favourite local second-hand bookshop, and on the front counter, new in, were a run of six editions of Bruce Bairnsfather's 'Fragments from France...'. As I already have a couple of them, and am poorly endowed with cash at present, I chose two of them and went happily on my way. Half way round M&S I talked myself into going to have another look. So having then gone back to get the other four, the owner looked relieved: 'I so glad - they all came in together, and I really didn't want to split the group up.' Now that sounded familiar!

Max Poilu Posted 1 October , 2004 Share Posted 1 October , 2004 Sue, Does that mean you have a complete set of all eight? Over the years I have put together issues 1 - 7 but the last, No.8 is I believe very scarce. The complete set is as follows: 1. Fragments From France. 2. More Fragments From France. 3. Still More Fragments From France. 4. Fragments From France No.4 5. Fragments No.5 6. Fragments From All The Fronts No.6 7. Fragments From France No.7 8. Fragments Away From France No.8 There was also a special edition of No.6 published in the USA with a Doughboy in the 'better ole' cartoon with 'Old Bill' captioned "Both in the same 'Ole now". Certainly never seen this here in the UK but I wouldn't mind getting hold of No.8 if anyone knows where! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Light Posted 1 October , 2004 Author Share Posted 1 October , 2004 Giles No, sorry - today I bought numbers 1 - 6, but already had 1 and 2, so I now have two duplicates, but today's were in better condition that the ones I have. I wasn't sure how many there were in total, so thankyou for enlightening me. Is this the one you mean from number 6? Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Poilu Posted 1 October , 2004 Share Posted 1 October , 2004 Yes, that's it! Looks like you just need 7 (great cover with a 'colour' cartoon) and the elusive No.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
