Just some of the book haul that came home from Paris with me. Thank you to all the lovely bookshops that severely depleted my bank balance. I'll be back.

Loved it. Thank you Frank McDonough Prof. Frank McDonough for this extended research and for dismantling myths, as well as for all the information that I was unaware of.

Lt-General Philip Neame (1888-1978) just came up in my current read.
He was awarded a VC in WWI. Won a gold medal in the 1924 Olympics. (The only VC holder to do so)
Captured in WWII, he designed an escape tunnel that allowed other POW officers to escape.
Yet no modern biography!

As most of my reading is currently done at an ungodly hour, nothing too taxing is preferable. This has been a really enjoyable read, although I've read much of his SAS life before.
He really was a gentleman & I hope we see more of his character in season 2 of SAS ROGUE HEROES.
