I think Simon may be inquiring about the War Book compiled or overseen by Maurice Hankey, in which case, I don't believe it was ever publicly available.

Thanks Resurgam - if you don't ask the question you will never know.

 

Thanks Again,

Simon,

Each department had its own War Book, and there was a master edition prepared under Hankey's direction. I am sure that there is a copy somewhere in the CAB classes at Kew, but I can't currently find the exact reference. If I can find it, I will re-post.
