MartH Posted 1 March , 2013 Share Posted 1 March , 2013 Copy number 379. Ralph has really raised the bar for books during the centenary and the quality of production is wonderful! Has anyone got a rare unsigned copy? Are you translating Der Weltkrieg Ralph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph J. Whitehead Posted 2 March , 2013 Share Posted 2 March , 2013 Thank you for all of the nice comments, I had hoped it would be well received. I want to thank everyone who helped me with materials, photos, etc. I just wish I could see a real copy, mine will not arrive for some time yet. I would like to translate a few of the period books such as Der Weltkrieg, the only issue is free time. Perhaps in the future. Book 3 is going well and should tie everything together. I had also hoped to have the casualty lists in print, however it would have added over 600 pages to the book. Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottsGreys Posted 2 March , 2013 Share Posted 2 March , 2013 I just woke up from a nap to find that mine, 525 & 527, arrived in today's post--11 days before the estimated delivery date provided by Amazon. Looking forward to getting into it tonight. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westkent78 Posted 4 March , 2013 Share Posted 4 March , 2013 Just unpacked mine. #739. Looks like it turned out very well. Congratulations Ralph. Looks like it was well worth the wait. How late in 1916 will Part 3 go to..... October, November? Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph J. Whitehead Posted 5 March , 2013 Share Posted 5 March , 2013 Hello Matthew, I am glad your book arrived, I hope you enjoy it. In regard to the last volume, I cover the fighting through November, however not with the same depthas this volume. The regiments mentioned in Volume 2 were involved in the fighting by Thiepval and north of the Ancre through the end of the battle. Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Bennitt Posted 1 June , 2013 Share Posted 1 June , 2013 Got mine at last. To save postage had the publisher send it to a friend in the UK, who finally turned up here for a long weekend with number 643. Can't wait to get started. cheers Martin B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
