IanA Posted 20 January , 2020 Share Posted 20 January , 2020 A booklet (36 pages, no date of publication) found in an Oxfam shop by MrsA in that there London. There seems to be no mention of it in a search of the forum. Not read it yet (only got it today) but wondered whether anyone had come across it. Nichols appears to have been a soldier who was blinded and lost his hands but remained cheerful and recovered well. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Maria Posted 21 January , 2020 Share Posted 21 January , 2020 Not read it but Nichols is the chap who appears on the 1930's documentary ' Forgotten Men '. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanA Posted 21 January , 2020 Author Share Posted 21 January , 2020 Ah - it's a very long time since I watched that. Must go and have another look. I started the book last night and although there's no date it seems clear that he's writing in the late '40s. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Maria Posted 21 January , 2020 Share Posted 21 January , 2020 It appears to be quite a scarce item ,only a couple of copies on-line as far as i can see . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanA Posted 21 January , 2020 Author Share Posted 21 January , 2020 MrsA got it in pristine condition for £2 - I did see Turner & Donovan offering one for £20. And you were spot on - Alan Nichols does appear in 'Forgotten Men'. What a valuable document that is! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
