    SNIPERS DOWN SOUTH

    I have started to write a short book on SNIPERS DOWN SOUTH, so the facts can be recorded from those who were there. In part it has been motivated by some of the nonsense spoken about and to give these lads credit where it is due.

    It will include all Regiments snipers not just ours who used the L42A1, but I want to bottom out the facts not rubbish talked about 36 years later so its right for future generations. It will be written by both myself and Frank Fletcher an accomplished sniper with 2 PARA in Afghanistan, and a volunteer at our museum.

    It will be in aid of The Parachute Regiment (Airborne Assault) museum who I have written two books for already, and will be costed very reasonably. The previous books namely BING the parachuting dog, and Myrtle the parachuting chicken, were written in my capacity as the fundraisng Trustee.

    Frank has written the the SNIPER POCKETBOOK which sales aid wounded soldiers and selling well, highly recommended see below
