Loopgraaf Posted 22 September , 2023 Share Posted 22 September , 2023 Mr. Palin, almost everybody knew him from tv or books. There is a book coming later this month. About his great uncle Harry. I am very curious. Why, i like personal touch in history and books. Most books about WW1 are books about searching for family history or books written by veterans. For more information about Harry. Henry William Bourne Palin | New Zealand War Graves Project (nzwargraves.org.nz) And this is the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
