Hi Tofrek

Thought you may be interested in this book:

Tommy at Gommecourt by Tommy Higgins

You can find it on my page - read it recently and found it extremely interesting as it has a local connection to me and is a first hand account of the trenches and POW life

If you would like more info let me know

Regards

Sounds good to me. Can you find anything in my library that you're interested in? I'm afraid my 'sale stock' tag is pages and pages long...
I'm interested in swapping for any/ all of the following books:
Among Insurgents by Shelby Tucker
Charlotte Gray by Sebastian Faulks
Regeneration by Pat Barker
The Eye in the Door by Pat Barker
The Ghost Road by Pat Barker
Plain Tales from the Raj by Charles Allen

Thanks! I should be around on June 4th, though I have an appointment and it is polling day.

Do you trade your books tagged 'for sale'? I'd be interested in trading some books with you.

Thanks again, Jon.
If you go to the Gordon Graham page,

http://www.librarything.com/author/graha...

abd click on "As I Was Saying" and "Burna memorial Library", you'll find that I've put quite a lot about them there. The second should greatly interest you.

Best wishes,

Hazel

Thanks, Jon. (I hope I'm typing this in the right place to reach you -- I'm new to LibraryThing!)
Adjusting that tiny difference in the title means that Gordon Graham's author page shows that 2 copies of The Trees ... are listed, not one copy each of two different books!
Was Gordon with the group you visited Kohima with? I know he has done a great deal for the place, and returned to it himself. I know him quite well as I have worked on the journal he founded and edited, LOGOS. Such a nice man!
Do you know whether all the books listed on his author's page are by him, or is he confused there with another Gordon Graham? I know he is actually W. Gordon Graham, but hasn't used that for any of his books (he uses WGG sometimes to sign book reviews). I've put up a review of his "As I Was Saying" -- a splendid book.
All the best,
Hazel

Dear Tofrek,

I indexed Gordon Graham's book on the Burma campaign, and share your very high esteem of it. I have listed it, and two of his other books, in my library, and was interested to find that you have also listed that one, and given excellent review of it. But I took some time to find it, because, in fact, you have not given the title quite right, so your title shows up under a different Gordon Graham's author page from mine (not that I understand it at all!). The full title is The Trees Are All Young on Garrison Hill -- you have omitted the word All, thus creating two titles for the book.
Did you know of Gordon's Burma Campaign Memorial Library, which I have also listed?
Best wishes,
Hazel Bell
