Guest royhills Posted 23 May , 2003 Share Posted 23 May , 2003 I would like to obtain a reference work on the 18th (Eastern) Diivision. Is there one in print anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliff brown Posted 23 May , 2003 Share Posted 23 May , 2003 Yes, there is an 18th Eastern Div history, which you should be able to track down from specialist dealers etc who sell second-hand military books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raster Scanning Posted 23 May , 2003 Share Posted 23 May , 2003 "The Eighteenth Division in the Great War" by G.H.F. Nicholls was printed by W Blackwood and Sons in 1922. It is one of the rarer Divisional Histories and commands a very high price. I have been looking for a copy for some years. A reprint is long overdue. I have borrowed a copy on the Inter Library Loan Service. There is also a copy in the Royal Military Academy Library, Sandhurst. I do have a copy of General Sir Ivor Maxse's biography, he was in charge of the 18th Division from its inception until the end of 1916. I also have the 54th Brigade history, they were part of the 18th Division. If you let me know what your interest is I may be able to help, as I have taken a particular interest in this division over quite a few years. Cheers. John.

Guest Hill 60 Posted 23 May , 2003 Share Posted 23 May , 2003 About 5 years ago I asked the Naval & Military Bookpress if they were going to reprint this book and they said yes, but in about 5 years time. So, maybe it is now about time for it to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 23 May , 2003 Share Posted 23 May , 2003 Originals of the divisional history fetch £150+ these days; the N&MP reprint is due later this year. I suspect it will be around £40-50, and I hope it includes the excellent maps found in the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
