Hi Bob,
ReplyDeleteA timely reminder so my membership has been paid!
No prizes for guessing what I shall look forward to reading though!
All the best,

David Crook,
ReplyDeleteGlad to have been of assistance!
The article on Ottoman uniforms is quite interesting, as is the one about Fred Burnaby.
All the best,
Bob
Bob, I have been looking for a long tome for a copy of Ted Herbert's Handbook for Colonial Wargamers, which was published by the VMS in 1976. Do you know if there is any way of acquiring a copy from the society?
ReplyDeleteThe Old Metal Detector,
ReplyDeleteThat booklet has been out of print for a long, long time ... and I doubt that the VMS would be able to supply you with a copy now.
That said, an individual member might have a copy somewhere on their shelves. Are you after a copy of a copy or will only an original do?
All the best,
Bob
