Royal Newfoundland Regiment Book

[06Honda]

Anyone know anything about a book by Richard Cramm called " The First Five Hundred", is this a collectible item. Item is original and in pretty good shape, thanks for any info.

I would say yes as it being a historical sketch of the military operations of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment in Gallipoli and on the Western Front during the Great War (1914-1918) together with the individual military records and photographs where obtainable of the men of the first contingent, known as "The First Five Hundred", or "The Blue Puttees"

It is a good book from what I have been told.

I have a copy from the original run, passed on to me (I am afraid to open it, as it isn't in the best condition  :-[)
