While this #histbookchat#photoFriday offering is Lt Col Charles Groves Wright Anderson from ‘Tales of Valour from The Royal New South Wales Regiment’ by Maj Gen GL Maitland. /2
I finished ‘Blood Brothers’ this morning. I didn’t find the time to read more than a few chapters on my recent trip but once I got home I couldn’t put it down. It was truly excellent and I highly recommend it. I look forward to a return to Borneo and this author sometime in the future. #histbookchat
Last overnight stop on the road to specifically visit a bookshop that was closed when we started out. After perusing the shelves for some time I was just about to resign myself to never finding it in the wild and there it was: ‘Singapore and Beyond’ by Don Wall. 🙏🏻 Belated #photofriday#histbookchat
My #photofriday#histbookchat offering is ‘Blood Brothers: Sabah and Australia 1942-1945’ by Lynette Ramsay Silver. Still with the Australians in Borneo, we shift the focus to the story of the courageous Sabahans whose peace and tranquility was destroyed by the Japanese invasion in January 1942. /2
I finished ‘Return To A Dark Age’ this morning. I was astonished to come across a signed copy of this book about a year ago but if you are interested in his story ‘The Story of Billy Young’ by Anthony Hill was published in 2012 and should be easier to find. #histbookchat
