Barnsley: Pen and Sword Military, 2007. First thus. Hardback. fine/fine. Hardback. Condition: Fine/Fine. New 2007 edition. Language: English. High Wood, dominating the Bazentin Ridge, was the fiercely contested focal point of the Battle of the Somme. Held by the Germans, it was fiercely defended against infantry, cavalry and tanks - the latter deployed in battle for the first time.

He also had a special rapport with many of the greats such as Barry John and Ian Botham. From the 1970s to the 1990s he attended nearly all the great sporting events. Later he became a nostalgist with a matchless gift for bringing the past to life.

The Highlights includes much of his best writing in the… Read More
