Auchonvillers Posted 22 November , 2009 Share Posted 22 November , 2009 Hello, These books aren't about the 12(Eastern)Division(1914-1918) but they are about Artillery hope they might interest you. Field Guns In France (A howitzer battery in the battles of the Somme,Arras, Messines and Passchendaele 1915-1918) by Lieut.-Col Neil Fraser-Tytler. The War Diary of the Master Of Belhaven (Lieut-Col the Hon. Ralph Hamilton.) Regards Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulgranger Posted 23 November , 2009 Share Posted 23 November , 2009 The Western Front volume of Martin Farndale's history of the Royal Artillery may be of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjjobson Posted 13 June , 2010 Share Posted 13 June , 2010 Would also suggest (Biased but happy to sell copies), my book Royal Artillery Terms and Abbeviations, historical and modern. It should help you understand what is being talked about in the other books. The RA has a language all of its own. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockdoc Posted 13 June , 2010 Share Posted 13 June , 2010 Phil's book is excellent. Highly recommended. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobL Posted 21 June , 2010 Share Posted 21 June , 2010 I'd love a copy of Farndale's book but can't find it anywhere online for less than £88, surely there has to be a more reasonably priced copy somewhere?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Dunlop Posted 22 June , 2010 Share Posted 22 June , 2010 It is not surprising to see that the value has increased so significantly. The only alternative is to keep watching the second hand book sites to see if something cheaper comes up. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
