swizz Posted 3 June , 2005 Share Posted 3 June , 2005 For anyone who's interested, there's a new book coming out called 'The Irish on the Somme: A battlefield guide to the Irish regiments in the Great War and the monuments to their memory'' by Steven Moore. I can't find it on Amazon but I know its being launched on 16th June so presumably it might appear in shops etc after that. I didn't know anything about this book until I got an invitation to the launch so I thought I'd let this forum know! Swizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morval Ross Posted 10 June , 2005 Share Posted 10 June , 2005 Hi Swizz, As a Paddy, I am very interested to hear of this book. Do you have any further details such as the Author and his background? Regards Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 10 June , 2005 Share Posted 10 June , 2005 It's not on The Naval & Military Press lists yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmond7 Posted 10 June , 2005 Share Posted 10 June , 2005 Steven Moore is journalist with the Belfast 'News Letter'. Don't know the guy but I do know he is a military history enthusiast. Whenever a mil-hist story comes up in the paper he's usually writing it. Know he was involved in covering the recent 'Thiepval Dig' .. I'm sure some of the forum members who were on that dig will know the guy. Cheers Des 'The uninvited' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swizz Posted 11 June , 2005 Author Share Posted 11 June , 2005 It's being published by 'Local Press' in Belfast who publish several local newspapers. I had a look on the internet but they don't seem to have a website. According to the launch invitation, you can get it by contacting The Irish on the Somme Marketing Department Century Newspapers 46-56 Boucher Crescent Belfat BT12 6QY Credit card bookings are between 9am-1pm and 2-5pm at this number: 028 9068 0115. I should have included that info on the original post if I'd thought. I hope this info doesn't count as advertising (!?) Other than that, I don't really know much more!
