Book comp: Cameos of War by Brian Guy (Swordman)

Many of you will have read ther stories that Swordman has put up in the Military History Forum. Well, he has brought some of these stories together in a book, 5 copies of which have been bought by the COs for prizes.

The entry form for the comp can be found on Survey Monkey here. The competition will run until Sunday 7th September, at some point during the day.

The book has been reviewed and that can be seen here: Cameos of War

​

If you are unlucky not to win, or are impatient then copies can be bought from Brian, details on the review.

All monies raised are going to BLESMA. Brian says that sales so far have covered costs so anything raised now goes straight to BLESMA.​

Done, I assume in question 1 you mean the Channel, or did they come ashore wearing Chanel

 

Well, they were delivered by matelots!

 

I resemble that remark but I'm in.

 

The competition has gone and passed and the winners are:

Slick
rebbonk
black isle girl

I have emailed them for their details and will get the book to them asap.

Answers:

Q1 On D-Day, Sword Beach was the left one as you faced France from the Channel.

Q2 246 Fd Coy RE were part of 8 Inf Bde for the landings

Q3 246 Fd Coy RE ended their war outside Bremen.

Good response for a great book and I hope that those lucky enough enjoy it and those unlucky will contact Swordman and buy a copy. Only the price of a few beers.

Next Competition is up and running and is for "Spymaster" about one of Britain's unsung Intelligence Officers. See here for the entry: Spymaster by Helen Fry

 

AG, that links to the ARRSE entry. Our sparkling wit and repartee is missing, so for old salts I redirect you to:
