| Morning. until Steve pointed it out i was a bit stumped, i was last at the NAM in 2004, i went to see the Fripp. but i recall how large the Yvon is, taking up the whole length of the wall, quite remarkable to think that when it was commissioned it was to be three times the size, have you been to the NAM Gary..i had some fun dodging the security in order to take some photo's of the Fripp, just next door is the Royal Hospital Chelsea, i wondered round the back and found what i was looking for..the memorial to the fallen at Chillianwallah, a fine looking edifice looking like Cleopatra's needle. xhosa |

| Hey Gary, i had no idea it will be closed that long..in 2004 my wife was in London visiting my sister, she went out of her way to visit the Royal Hospital at my request and talked to some of the residents who assured her there was no memorial as far as they were aware, cutting it short i went there myself a couple of months later and investigated myself.. its a very large complex which involved a walk of some distance down the side of the hospital and round the back which open's up onto a vast landscaped area, i had to blag my way past some riggers who were setting up for an outside concert, but i could see the memorial just beyond, it could'nt be missed, its a huge obelisk with the names of the officers and men who fell at Chillianwallah. decorated with regimental device's. i had not heard it had been relocated..which would have been some job, i wonder where it is now..does anybody know.. cheers xhosa |

| Hiya Gary, no mate i was off to the land of nod when i saw your post.it was a long day is all. Aussie slang!, it made perfect sense to me, i got it straight away. yes i have read it and like most of Ian's work its thoughtfully researched and sits well as something a bit different than his usual stuff, other authors seem to follow in his wake..copying him i think..i will dig it out again, most of the modern stuff ends up in the loft, just have'nt got the room in this dolls house i live in. hope your day was good and your chillin. cheers xhosa |

| Hi Les Yes I agree , I really enjoyed ' Marching ' IK had copies when we were with him last November , it had just been released . I got him to sign it for me so that was nice of him . Do you have ' Despatches From The Front ; The Zulu Wars ' by Grehan & Mace ? , a couple of errors here and there , the incorrect casualty return for Inyezane , but still interesting enough , worth a read for us bookaholics ! 90th |

| Hi Les . I think you're correct it may well have been a reprint , it isn't the ' Spies ' book , it's ' Despatches In The Zulu Wars ' LC's correspondance along with Crealock , Wood , Bellairs , Pearson etc , also gives the 5 witness officer statements for LC's excuse for an inquiry into Isandlwana ! , along with other personal , there are a couple of bad errors with the lists , but that happens sometimes . I have it ' Spies & Espionage in the Zulu war ' I also haven't cracked it as yet , Love , I have about 15 more I need to crack open HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm taking some books of Ian's to Sth Africa for him to sign in Oct , not sure how many more I have to lug in my case . 90th |

I to am looking forward to Neil's work , I spoke to him and unfortunately he has no date for the release , it's up to the Publishers ! ![Don\'t agree](/users/1313/16/75/50/smiles/3075281730.gif) .

| Gary,
What the Despatches book actually contains are the collected reports from The London Gazette. So errors in the casualty lists are contemporary ones rather than those of the modern editors.
In answer to your remark above the earliest date for my work to slow down is January 2017!
Sorry for the delay.

| Thanks Gary for that, something i wanted to ask you and other ' bookies ', i don't mind at all if when i buy an older book if it has the name of the previous owner or a bookplate and such..what i was wondering was do any of you take ownership of your books and add your own name or bookplate, damn if it slightly devalues it, i care nothing for that! but i like the idea that when my small collection is sold off and scattered to the world a bit of me goes with each book. to sign your name or not, that is the question. xhosa |

| Les Sometimes it adds value. I have a number of books from the collection of Hammond Tooke and other collectors. I find it fun to see who owned the books and sometimes the date they acquired them. But that's just me. As you say the pleasure is from the book, hell all of mine are pretty well thumbed because I use them. |

Thanks for that Frank, i agree totally, about ninety percent of mine are used and have gone through god knows how many hands, i love the smell of old books and like you wonder who owned them previously. but do you sign your acquisitions..putting your moniker on them and taking ownership..i wonder in the far distant future when someone is putting together their own collections would they come across books with your name inscribed?. i have some from various people like Hattersley, Huw Jones and the like, one of my clarkes is signed from her to Borquin. but to be honest i put my name on everything bookwise! i have my own designed bookplate and have been trying to work my way through them, that's how eventually i will come across the Grehan..i recently bought a book from someone we all know, it had no inscription at all. to inscribe or not!. who does, who does'nt . cheers |

| Hi Les , To answer your question I've never signed any of my books , even those from when I was a teenager , I never gave it a thought to be honest , I was always thinking they'd be in the house , and if you lost it , no-one can return it if only your name is in it , so I didn't see the point ! , now I'm thinking I should sign them ! . I certainly have some that were owned previously , some do have their names in them . Cheers 90th MC doing very well at the moment , are they undefeated or won 5 in a row , or something similar ? , not like MU lost 3 games in a week ! |

| Hi Les. Ive never signed any of my library, maybe when im old and grey(er). What I do take pride in are books that have been presented to me because of help that Ive given to the authors. Its nice to have that little dedication and I do have a number of them. The last one should appear in the back of John Youngs latest. And a couple coming out this year will also give me a mention. But that pales into insignificance when you open a flyleaf and see SB or Huw Jones, worth much more than money. Cheers |

| I don't sign any of mine and yet the books I value most are those old editions with a contemporary name or bookplate - particularly individuals with a connection to the AZW. Not very logical I know. I do not seek modern author signed copies at all. Which original owner pleases you the most?

| I do have ' The Military Badges Of South Africa & Rhodesia ' by Colin Owen , not sure who the two signatures are inside the front cover , but someone has written a quotation by Winston Churchill , Owen has signed next to his photograph , as has Paul L. Franche , who also has signed his photo in the acknowledgements , so no doubt it was owned by possibly someone of some note ? , Oh , and the quote , which I hadn't heard before is '' I did not become the Queen's first minister to preside at the dissolution of the Empire ! '' Winston Churchill . 90th |

| My favourite Churchill ism was when he was accused of being drunk after calling a lady ugly, That wonderful response of "Yes madam but in the morning I shall be sober". I have a set of GE Cory 'The Rise of South Africa' Volume 1 he pays tribute to his landlord a Mr Kendal for allowing him a cheaper rental, in each subsequent volume he dedicates to the same family with an appropriate thanks, for cheap rentals and free food. As you get through the series his thanks gets more and more. Very entertaining comments.

| Correct Les, Cameron expected a remain vote and therefor made no plan 'A', 'B', 'C' or 'D', he got the shock of his life when the good people of England and Wales voted out. And DisMay is dragging her feet with brexit, she was a remainiac and is trying to keep us in, she is going to make a mess of things unless someone tells her to get a grip, she was hopeless as home sec, she is so far proving to be the same as a stand in PM. If only Churchill was still around today, we would never have been in this situation in the first place. The man is a legend. |

| Good shot Les, as the old saying goes, "seek and ye shall find". I bet you were rooting for that for hours, I am like that in my house, if I can't find things right away, I will root about everywhere for it, the Shifter just watches me with a grin on her face, she knows I won't give up until I find it (which can sometimes take forever), in fact I am still rooting about for some things, the latest is for my motorbike licence. I am thinking of getting a small bike (a little 125cc), so that I can put a topbox on it and use it to get the shopping, these flaming steep hills here are a nightmare to walk up now that our useless council has clobbered the mini bus service, not much point in having a bus pass when there are no buses. A little 125 would be about right, I no longer need a big bike, it would be a waste of power for the short trips I would use it for. Glad you found the book mate. |
