A History of the Royal Regiment of Wales for £5.50. British Battles on Land & Sea Vol.4 for £6.00. A lot of good sections on the Anglo Zulu wars. The Rorke's Drift Doctor for £20.00 including delivery. Very happy cheers Richie |

| Well done! The Red Book is nice, but the 1907 Narrative is nicer in my opinion. Rainforth Armitage Walker was something of an expert on Aubrey Beardsley the artist. Does your volume have a bookplate? Walker apparently had a number, but one was by Beardsley himself and is quite valuable in its own right.

| Hi Steve,
Sorry I'm not quite sure what you mean by "bookplate" There is, some sort of sticker I suppose on the inside cover, is that what you mean? "Ex Libris Rainforth Armitage Walker" with a date of 1927 also another sticker with the details of Anthony Frederick (his son)?? The only thing that spoils it, is someone has stuck two newspaper cuttings on the inside. One a review of W.H. Clements Glamour & Tragedy of the Zulu War dated 12/9/36 and a small piece on "Zulu etiquette" |

| Looks like a pilgrim, medieval town in the background, old man in a hooded cloak reading a book. Vertical staff in the ground to one side with a "double" cross. Sandwiched in between Ex Libris and his name. At the very top a dove? holding a branch in its beak. |

| That was a nice find Frank. I used to get to car boots at an ungodly hour of a Sunday morning, but now I favour the mid day starts! We should start a thread on the best car boot finds. How did the Bourquin turn out?

| Steve I haunt old shops, charity shops and boot sales. My best buy was an old cardboard box with The diary of HF Flynn, first edition: Olden times in Zululand Bryant and Febana by Elizabeth Watt. I paid the asking price on condition she threw in the box to carry them. Equivalent of 30 GBP. On examination of the rest of the box, a few old and tatty paperbacks, there was an absolute gem. Volume 6 of The rise of South Africa by Cory ( I have the other 5 volumes ). That completed the set. Hell but she could bargain that lady. |

| Managed to get Capt Rainforth's copy of The Historical Records of the 24th. Spine a bit loose but not bad. Again from the Rainforth Walker collection. Interesting anecdote in the front but I think the facts got a bit mixed up in the telling. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Nice copy to have Bill. I now know of seven copies with regimental connections - Welby, Weallens, Vor Trower, Lee, Penn Symons, Glennie and Rainforth. Keep them coming.
