    As example of the Arnhem/MG books I will start one about the the RA books that I have, and hopefully get covers that other might have, I start with the latest one

    Philip, you are making me jealous. I've only got one of these - The Herts Yeomanry Vol 1. Have you got Vol 2 on the HAA and Searchlight units.

    Philip You have a lot of books I don't have in my Royal Artillery Collection, but I do have too many to list (over 400 at the last count!) That was when Mrs Op-Ack said enough was enough!!

    Needless to say, I am still buying them, so I anticipate trouble coming my way soon!!

    Have you got "Royal Artillery Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations Historical and Modern"?

    I only ask because I wrote it!!!!

    Let me know when (if) you want a copy, I can do signed ones at cheaper than cover price.

    If you get the chance obtain a book called the Guns have Eyes by Peter Ryder it
    deals with an artillery spotter from Normandy through to the end, but there is a couple of chapters about Arnhem and the corridor.

    OK, I said I have over 400 RA related books (All periods), but you are making me jealous, I have only counted about 5 that I have from the ones you have listed. Seems I have a fair way to go. But what the heck, it beats smoking an drinking, at least I have something to show for my money at the end of the day.

    By the way, I will definately be ordering a copy of your book on 1 FOU(A). Did a Battlefield tour last year with some former members who landed at Hammelkern (could be spelt wrong), some pretty "hairy" tales of that landing.

    I got lucky that most of the books were printed in Holland in 1945, so a number have stayed here
