Welcome to Catalogue #186, July 2015. Apologies for the absence of a June list there was no time to get one out given the looming deadline of my biography on that great soldier Ray Simpson, VC, DCM. I’m happy to report that it is 98% complete. Once we have determine which photos to use (and there are many) we will be sending it off to the designers and printers. My editor (Dr Toby Malone) flies in from Canada tomorrow and we will get our heads together and do the final tidy up. Price is notionally set at $65 as we are doing it ‘pro bono’ we need to make as much as we can for our chosen charities which are Legacy and a couple of ‘yet to be decided’ SAS-linked charities. It will be quite a substantial hard-back book in dust wrapper with a full bibliography, glossary, index and footnotes. It has been a 5 year project and is looking good. It will take its place among the many good books on VC winners written over the years. Anyone wanting to secure a copy (print run is 1,000 only) will need to pay up front. Call Imprimatur Books (we are the publishers) on 0417964530 to get our bank account details. We prefer a direct deposit but credit cards and cheques are quite acceptable. If you are an ex member of the RAR, SASR, 1 Commando Regiment or the AATTV you will be eligible for a 20% discount (postage extra). Please request signed or un signed. So there it is. ’Simmo’: One of Australia’s Great Soldiers ‘. This list contains a few new titles which are represented on the front cover of this list. Notable among them is ‘Sapper’ by Graham Mackenzie-Smith. A very substantial work as is the biography of Borella, VC. Another listed there is ‘Shot Down’ by Alex Kerr. Word has it that it is out of print already and I only have one copy. Jim Truscott’s book ‘Snakes in the Jungle’ should appeal to the boys own adventure types among you as it is a rip roaring and rollicking yarn. As we go to print here on a wintry July night, please spare a thought for those are out in the cold with nothing especially soldiers among them. Homeless people have a particularly hard time at this time of year. St Barts, the Sallys and Vinnies do as much as they can but it really is down to all of us to pitch in when and where.
