Black Maria Posted 2 December , 2017 Share Posted 2 December , 2017 'Three years' is very rare , if you are wanting to buy a copy . I've only seen about three copies for sale in the last fifteen years . Tom Donovan had two copies for sale about ten years ago ( I seem to remember they were the author's own copies ) and another came up for sale on e-bay about two years ago. Libraries may hold copies ( IWM ? ) but otherwise you just have to keep looking at the usual sites like Amazon , Abe and e-bay and be lucky !

HQTANKS Posted 6 December , 2017 Share Posted 6 December , 2017 Should you find a copy of The Scrapbook of the 7th battalion check that the supplement by Brig Gen. Preston White entitled 'Cambrai' which came as a separate booklet with the main title is present. The 'Three Years on active service' book is in a curious Library style green binding I have seen several copies of this and all were bound the same . Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to find the other one too, but haven't had any luck. Interlibrary loan services at my university library even failed. Have you had any luck?
