26th March 2004	Knight Book By AMB Slightly off subject, but does anyone know if the following book ever got published: THE BRITISH ARMY ZULU WAR TO BOER WAR, By Ian Knight. Not sure who the publisher would have been, but 1999 is the yr of [?] publication. Thoughts any one? AMB

26th March 2004	John Young AMB, Wrong Ian, it was Ian Castle in Brasseys uniform series. To my knowledge no it wasn't published. There a review on Amazon, which says words to the effect - good book, shame it is not published. I've done those photo's for you of your former workplace. John Y.
27th March 2004	Dewi Evans You're both correct gentlemen, it was co-written by Ian Knight and Ian Castle and illustrated by Richard Hook. I made enquiries about this book back in 2001/2002, I contacted both Ian Knight and Brassey's and was informed that the book was never published and that Brassey's had no plans to publish it!!!! What a shame. Dewi Evans.
27th March 2004	AMB Gentlemen, Thank you for your replies. It is a shame that Ians Knight & Castle didn't get to publish it. May be some else would like a crack. I wonder what John Young is doing this summer....? AMB
27th March 2004	John Young AMB, I think I'll still be working on the corrections for the Rattray/Greaves Guidebook this summer. John Y.
