muckandbullets Posted 10 December , 2011 Share Posted 10 December , 2011 Thanks for viewing this post, I was not sure where the best Forum would be to place it, but here goes. As you no doubt know The Abbey Press Ltd, 32- 34 Great Peter Street, Westminster S.W.1 used to publish many military books, of which I have one. Does anybody know what happened to the Company. I have "googled map" the address to be confronted by a fairly new white concrete building of about 5 floors. I have googled the printing firm but can find no further information as to where they went to or what happened to them. Oh and yes there are plenty of Abbey Press that are registered. Sometime in the future I would like to post Memories of the 71st & 83rd Companies RASC MT 1914-1918 by Stanley J Levy on the GWF. I have already posted some information on a thread started by Charlie Girl of which I carried on posting . This book was limited to 200 copies.See attached. Regards MN PS W Hagger was my Grandfather.

Phil Evans Posted 10 December , 2011 Share Posted 10 December , 2011 MN, Have you tried the Times Digital Archive or London Gazette? If the firm was wound up, there may be notices in one or the other. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Morgan Posted 10 December , 2011 Share Posted 10 December , 2011 The Imperial War Museum may be able to tell you something of the history of the Abbey Press. There are some of the company's recruiting posters in the museum's collection, according to Google. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stafford formerly Lietenant. Nice to bring comrades in arms "back to life", I dont think they will mind the telling of the story especially on an appropriate Website. Long live The Great War Forum !
