,
Forum , spent a very chilly but great day in Caernarfon today at the launch of Vol 2 * of the book by Alister Williams , though not Zulu war book it was very kind of him to ask me along to the launch , the second book is a MUST as is the first and the blood drained from his face when i asked about Vol 3 ( ? ) . It shows you what dedicated and ( my words ) , intense research can result in . I have learnt a lot from Alister and it was fantastic talking to descendants of men who won a VC later than the Zulu War . The brother of Col Jones VC killed in the Falklands was one of those in attendance . ( Heart Of The Dragon ) *
Can i in this link put right a small point ( ? ) , when making a query re Sgt Care 24 th a few days ago i was putting the question in a rhetorical manner , i have done quite a bit of research on Sgt Care as i suspect have Brecon . There are many levels of skill in this forum , i place myself close to the bottom . I enjoy intense , heated debate and hope personal remarks are not tolerated . This a great forum and input from NOVICE to Gold plated " expert " hopefully will be treated as equals on the same level playing field . Grammar is not my strong point as has been pointed out , i hope i do add to this forum rather than detract from it . I like to share the data i have and by the same yardstick anticipate any that is offered , i have two links in Australia where this is the case . I hope our esteemed " boffins " in this field do not leave ( you know who you are ) and the new boy / girl is treated in the same manner as the long established contributor , we don`t all have intense knowledge , i strive to get better but a person must not feel under the cosh through lack of knowledge or ignorance of a fact or item . A lot are new to this forum and are not sure if a point has been covered earlier , perhaps when this arises Alan could highlight when & where it HAS been covered earlier ( ? ) . I would hope as we enter Nov towards Christmas no personal or hurtful remarks will be leveled against anyone again , thank you , " Sapper "
