    "Hesketh-Prichard, A Memoir"

    A more rare and interesting book than H-P's own IMHO.

    There's one on ePay in the UKicon right now for a rather cheap price. No connection, just happened to see it.

    The last 6 or 7 chapters are taken from letters HV wrote to his wife during WW1 - very revealing and facinating to compare the same events he talks about in Sniping in Franceicon.

    I agree and it would be interesting to have them all published as written. Hopefully they still exist.
