Ian Skennerton's Books

[Drachenblut]

Hello, I am looking for Ian Skennerton's 'Small Arms Identification Series' book #15. .450 & .303 martini rifles and carbines. It apparently sells for 15 bucks usually. Where can I get a copy and does someone have one they would be willing to part with?

Thanks,
Drachenblut

Try Don Mac of Murray House Militaria, I have just ordered a Skennerton book from them.

From Skennerton.com
Canadian orders: Pay in US$ to Grants Pass office, plus post by air or surface. Canadian tax is likely. Most Skennerton titles are available from John C, Denner & Co., in Lancaster, Ontario or Don Mac of Murray House Militaria at St. Marys, Ontario, or MilArm Co. in Edmonton, Alberta.

Don is a great guy to deal with. I went there to pick up my Lee Enfield book and ended up taking home a whole whack of other books too.

Don is excellent to deal with and a real gentleman. Few of those left nowadays...

Now please tell me why those ten or so Welshmen at Rorke's drift would be singing "Men of Harlech" in English?

Lol. It was a Welsh Regiment after all. Most likely they never sang it in English, but Welsh, being the South Wales Borderers. Do you think Murray will have that specific book?

Of course they were John, everyone knows that …

From the 1964 movie "Zulu" and "Men of Harlech" sung by 13 year old Charlotte Church (1998)

I seem to remember reading that most of them guys weren't Welsh at all, and the regiment wasn't known as the South Wales Borderers until long after 1879.
