[keithmroberts]

I have managed to access  a couple of these books in libraries, but would really  like to acquire copies.

• 1914-1919 Memoirs of the 32nd Field Ambulance, (10th Irish Division)  By C Midwinter  published 1933
• The experiences and records of a Lewis gun section in France and Salonika   Arnold Maxim 1917
• The St. Barnabas pilgrimage to the battlefields and war cemeteries of Gallipoli and Salonika, 1926
• A Diary of the Balkan Front World War 1: 22nd November 1915 to 16th October 1919   Douglas Harry Bernard HARFIELD , published 2003
•  History of the Hampshire Territorial Force Association and War Records of Units, 1914-1919   published 1921

if any member has a copy of any of these titles that is no longer required, please contact me with an indication of the cost.

Cheers Alan, I'm not quite manic, but have bought quite a few of the items in the bibliography, including a couple of rarities and have read a few  more in libraries. I do believe in hens teeth, ever since finding a copy of Serbia and the Serbs, on line in Italy for less than 10 Euros. I paid more for the postage. Unfortunately it would have to be destroyed to be copied for any level of digitisation, being tightly stapled and fragile.  I am exploring access to a proper book copying system, and might eventually manage to create at least pdf  copies for the SCS website, but that is not guaranteed at present.

A copy of the Midwinter title is in the IWM, and Bodley, where I have read it, have a copy of the St Barnabas volume and a few other hard to find Salonika titles. I'm not a fanatical collector, but do prefer real books when I can find/afford them. Much of my reading has of necessity been  from the Internet Archive but I still find  it hard to walk past a charity shop, or even the scruffiest junk shop. 

If my main interest had been naval, the excellent collection in the Portsmouth History Centre would have met probably almost everything that I could wish for.
