andrew pugh Posted 20 January , 2021 Share Posted 20 January , 2021 Good Evening, hope you are all safe and well. Just a couple of things, I am trying to find out where I can purchase a copy of a book called Forever Young, The diary of L/Cpl Joseph Willocks, 23rd Battalion Royal Fusiliers. He was killed on the 13/11/1916. I think the book was published in 2012. Hope somebody can help. The other thing, has anyone read the book called Deborah and the war of the tank 1917 by John Taylor? I have just finished reading it. In my opinion what a read absolutely brilliant and very informative. If you have not read it would advise doing so especially if your interested in the tank actions and their crews. Kind Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 20 January , 2021 Share Posted 20 January , 2021 As a retired bookseller, I am struggling on this one- What is your reference to Forever Young?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew pugh Posted 20 January , 2021 Author Share Posted 20 January , 2021 Hi Thank you for replying. To tell you the truth, I was sorting out all my old paper work and came across this title that I had written on a sheet of paper, and I cannot remember where the title came from. I have written on the same sheet of paper Redan Ridge, so it may be mentioned in the appendixes of Battle Ground Europe series Redan Ridge? I will have a look later.
