ddycher Posted 6 March , 2015 Share Posted 6 March , 2015 Came across a ref today to the autobiography of John Morris of the 3rd Gurkhas that is supposed to cover his time in Palestine. Has anybody seen this before ? Is it worth hunting down a copy ? Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 6 March , 2015 Share Posted 6 March , 2015 Dave, if this is a book with a title "Licence to Kill" (or similar), I'd say no. I am at this moment in the Hussars museum, so I popped upstairs to ask my chum, the Curator of the Gurkha Museum. he dug a copy off the shelves, and the whole time of the author's war service in Palestine is covered in pages 57 - 61. Brief, I think, would be a good word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddycher Posted 7 March , 2015 Author Share Posted 7 March , 2015 Both Many thanks for the quick response. Steven - based on that I'll probably give it a miss. Maureen - cant open the link here in China for some reason but will keep trying. Thanks Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushfighter Posted 7 March , 2015 Share Posted 7 March , 2015 Dave Greetings To me the book was a good read - honest and descriptive. It won't satisfy your immediate requirement but it's worth looking out for as a satisfying piece of military autobiography. Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
