pompeyrodney Posted 27 June , 2008 Share Posted 27 June , 2008 Can I heartily recommend the above book by Stephen Chambers, that has just been released. It is a true account of the Anzac landings with some very revealing insights provided by soldiers diaries, some of which come from my grandfather John Pitt, from the 8th Battalion AIF. It is a very enjoyable read that I would recommend to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frev Posted 29 June , 2008 Share Posted 29 June , 2008 Thanks for letting us know about the book Jules. Does anyone know if the book is going to be distributed in Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted 30 June , 2008 Share Posted 30 June , 2008 Hi Frev I've only seen one or two copies of the Battleground Europe series in Australian bookshops. I normally have more luck finding them through Amazon. Cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frev Posted 30 June , 2008 Share Posted 30 June , 2008 Ta Drew - might check out a few haunts first - last time I bought a book from O/S, it never arrived! Frev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krithia Posted 30 June , 2008 Share Posted 30 June , 2008 Hi Pompeyrodney, Yes I am a forum member, glad you enjoyed the book. Its distribution to Australia is at the hands of Pen & Sword and they have promised getting copies over there soon, but as the book has only just been released it may be quicker to order it over the web. Amazon.com appear to be temporarily out of stock but I have noticed that http://www.madrascafebooks.co.nz in NZ stock it. Hopefully it will become readily available soon. Simon, yes, hopefully catch you for a Efes or two this September, and Steve, after a few beers I'll answer any question, if I get it wrong I'll sack my shadow writer! all the best, Steve C.

gilly100 Posted 5 January , 2013 Share Posted 5 January , 2013 Hi Steve Why this book is not easily available in Australia is beyond me, as perhaps a good many others from Pen and Sword. Well done - again! Am reading yours in reverse fashion. Suvla done, Anzac now and Gully Ravine later, in between writing and having a baby I guess!!!!

gilly100 Posted 7 January , 2013 Share Posted 7 January , 2013 Enjoying broadening the Gallipoli horizons is all Michael. Then when I bump into Bill Sellars again I will be able to - yes, I read about that in such and such book!!! The book shelves are creaking!
