Unforgotten


LAUNCHED last week on Old Blues' Day, this new book by the distinguished military historian David Miller (LaB 48-55) covers every known Old Blue who died in World War Two, with descriptions of how, when, and where each one died. The result of many years of research, it covers the extraordinary stories of 212 remarkable people – not only members of the armed forces but also civilians killed by enemy action. (David gives brief notes on twelve of them here.) The book is 160 pages long, on high quality paper, hard bound and profusely illustrated. Cost is £15, with £4.50 p&p for UK. All proceeds (when production costs are recouped) will go to the Museum Fund. Orders should be placed with Margaret Wadman at the CHOBA office, by email or by phoning 01403-2476645; she can also advise on methods of payment and costs of overseas postage.
