Happy (at least from my personal perspective) to confirm that my (UK-based purchase) copy is complete. It certainly must be very annoying to be missing some pages - I tend to only really look at the maps because I find the Corporal Jones-esque "They don't like it up 'em" jingoism that litters the text rather contrived (but that's probably just me).

Mike, yebo
Theyve been drawn with NATO symbols and inaccuracies have crept in, but essentially they are all Maurice maps.
The past is not dead. In fact, it's not even past.

Dave - mine arrived yesterday and is complete as far as I can tell and definitely contains pages 69 to 76. The cover is slightly warped which is not an issue but it does strike me it is not the best bound book and could well start to come apart at the seams if not treated with care. The size surprised me and it is not a book to read balanced on one's knee and I have reserved part of the dining room table to study it which may lead to matrimonial conflict when the next patchwork production needs to be assembled. The content I am finding very helpful although it could have been a bit less voluminous if comments in the "boxes" attached to the map were not repeated verbatim in the text. I have not seen the word "Republican" used to describe the Boers before but it seems appropriate.
