MedalHunter Posted 22 October , 2004 Share Posted 22 October , 2004 I have a privately published A5 book running to 65 pages about the experiences of Ex. Farrier Corporal 903 S.G.Tucker. It covers his time throughout the war,from enlistment and training to demob and was written by him in 1981. He went to Gallipoli, western desert, Sinai Peninsula, Palestine and Syria. Lots of names and experiences. If anyone with an interest in the Dorset 'Queens Own'Yeomanry would like a copy, I would be happy to oblige.

vaugh Posted 13 August , 2007 Share Posted 13 August , 2007 I have a privately published A5 book running to 65 pages Farrier Corporal 903 S.G.Tucker, the Dorset 'Queens Own'Yeomanry Regards Ian Hi Ian, a long shot this far down the line, 'IM' me with the cost of a copy and I'll let you know. I'm trying to place some SIH men with the Dorset Yeomnary and this may help. I have some of the war diaries photo'd and would be willing to swop. Most of my diaries are from Jun 1917 onwards.

Stephen S Posted 18 August , 2007 Share Posted 18 August , 2007 G'day Ian, I realise this was an old post, but I have not been a member long and have come across it just now. If still available I would like a copy please, as it would compliment my interest in The Desert Mounted Corps. regards Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
