593jones Posted 4 January , 2021 Share Posted 4 January , 2021 For anyone interested, the softback edition of Volume 1 is now available from The Naval and Military Press for £14.99. A bargain! (I've just ordered mine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have received two emails from Hermes, the latter telling me they have received my parcel. I now have to hope that Mrs Broomfield is in a good and forgiving mood when it arrives. Well, Hermes delivered at lunchtime: what a splendid piece of work it is. I might also add that I have seldom received a better-wrapped package. Any fear of damage whilst in transit can be discounted. Mrs Broomfield contented herself with the comment that I can't go on buying books. Mind you, she's been saying that for 38 years so sooner or later I might listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My copy was also delivered by Hermes this afternoon. Agree with you Mr B about the packaging. A splendid book, even Mrs Da Valli had a look through it. A good omen for getting the other volume!!

My assumption is the next British Corps moving right to left in the order of battle. I will check when next in touch. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tharkin56 Posted 18 May , 2021 Share Posted 18 May , 2021 For those of you who can't wait for Jon's next book but want to indulge in some 1st July 1916 detail. I have just released '1st July 1916 Officer Roll of Honour' it includes 875 photos of officers that died on 1st July 1916. 385 A4 pages and took me 5 years to complete. if you look very hard you will see my name in the acknowledgements section of Jon's volume II book. I include some images I took this morning when my first copies arrived. PM me if you want to know more. You may recognise some officers from the cover. It's self published about one inch thick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Mackenzie Posted 22 July , 2022 Share Posted 22 July , 2022 As usual I was massively behind the times but was recommended this book on a recent trip to the Somme and Volume 1 arrived today. The description ' weighty tome ' doesn't do it justice, it is almost painfully heavy. Only read a couple of sections so far but the detail is amazing and the pictures superb. What a quality piece of work by Jonathan and I am now off to order Volume 2. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58 Div Mule Posted 25 July , 2022 Share Posted 25 July , 2022 Volume 2 won’t disappoint and it’s even bigger than Vol 1! 58 DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
