I only really get an opportunity to read at the weekends but with us reading parallel, there may be points for discussion as we move along.

regards,
Iain

I managed to find this book Kimberley Belmont/Graspan/Modder River/Magersfontein by
Lewis Childs (a Pen and Sword book) at a car boot sale at the weekend.
It was amongst several Zulu Wars books seven in all, so I had to buy them all,not bad value for £10.
My bookshelves are filling rapidly!

Hi Paul,
Very good value I'd say, I think that little battlefield guide was £9.95 when published!
