Reader & reviewer of books on the second world war. 📚
Even before becoming a Postie, I found a walk to be great medicine for both the body and mind.

Great to hear it is still being played, away from the distractions of electronic devices. 👍

Fabulous!
There is a story at the beginning of the book in which he first had a dog as a companion in the Boer War. All whilst he was doing a spot of spying!

Best to keep running up Lawrence, after all the rain. ☔️

One of three Chris Goss books that I've read this year and I've been really impressed. A fourth awaits on the TBR pile.

One L of a mistake!

Been there Matt. 🙄
Too many books now are firstly over hyped by publishers.
You then have the ringing endorsements from fellow historians. These are usually the author's mates and/or with the same publisher.
I'm happy to be an independent reviewer & simply share those that I have enjoyed.
