It is an excellent book, and won the rugby section of the Times Sports Book Awards 2013.

Stephen was our WFA guest speaker last month, and his talk was excellent too.

I have only just spotted this after some time since publication. Glad you spotted a bargain - good for you if not for me, but all the tiny royalties go to charity anyway.

As the author I would be interested to know what you think of the book. Its writing owes a debt of gratitude to this forum which I have acknowledged. But I am intrigued - if a little trepidatious - to know what Forum members think

best wishes

Forum members may wish to know that Rosslyn Park rugby club will finally unveil a new memorial to replace that mysteriously lost in the move to Roehampton in 1955/56.

This wooden plaque will carry the names of 108 men who died 1914-19, who have now been positively matched to CWGC records. This exceeds the number in the Roll of Honour published in my book - proof, if ever needed, that history is a work in progress.

The ceremony will take place at 1130 on 29 March 2014.
