A couple of interesting purchases this month, a small book of letters by Philip Anthony Brown to his mother from france 26/8/15----3/11/15 he served in the 13th battalion DLI

Also a set of the Kings Royal Rifle Chronicles for 1915,16,17,18 these are highly detailed giving a great deal of information,honours and awards etc [the regimental history for the great war is vitually unobtainable in it`s original printing}

best regards John
