I have tried to phone the museum about buying a copy of Mr. Whybra's new book, but the number doesn't ring. Anybody help?

Dodgermuk,
Hi.
I have to say that I find your defence of Durnford, or rather your denunciation of Pulleine to be wholly misjudged. Durnford was the senior officer and should have taken charge ...

Rusteze,
Hi,
The illustration you found is actually in Colonel Snook's "How Can Man Die Better," where several other officers are identified. Apologies if you are already aware of t ...

It was not my intention to be frivolous, I was merely making a point.
It is a serious discussion, and forgive me if I've missed any relevant threads, but perhaps you could enlighten me ...

Durnford totally blameless? I think Coll is having a laugh!
In my own, very humble opinion, Durnford was a brave and even charismatic figure. But on that day he was simply the wrong man in the ...
