Okey Dokey, but it might take me a while.
No greater ally got some really good reviews, if fact it was recommended to me by the blokey in the bookshop. he had just finished it.

It's not a race... :twisted:

And as a blokey in a bookshop am glad that you listened to yours... My customers are terrible for reading what they are told. :roll:

Let the great book race begin :rofl: . TBH I'm still reading Beevors Berlin.
Anyway I had nothing on the polish forces, bits during italy, the warsaw rising but that was about it. I was going to get a somthing on french forces but as it tried to pick it up, it ran off :whistle: :giggle:

Pics, price, etc?

Its a 42 dated M39 model. Got it for £30. Its in pretty good condition, a bit worn on the back but ok. The biggest issue, which I didn't realise until I got it is that the top two hooks for attaching to the y-straps are missing. :slap: However this was done by the original owner who fitted straps so it can be worn as a backpack without the y-straps- the hooks were removed to stop them digging in your back.

Surprised how little I spent at W&P. Two different rifle grenade boxes were my only purchase!

Same as Kermit, I only bought a pair of small jack boots in midget foot size for me :happyclap: only taken me a few years :happydance:

HS I saw the stall but realised the radio would be the last straw to break the camels back in our truck. We need a bigger car :lol: or a trailor .... still we've got Detling next and the space of 2 kids to fill with booty as they don't go to it :happydance: (great to finally meet kirstin properly)
