Details have come in this morning about a new series of books on the Heroes of Rorke's Drift.

The first in the series - Volume One by Kris Wheatley is due to be published on 22 January 2006 - which seems like a very good date. We will post information on the on-line shop once we have copies in stock. It looks as if Volume One will cover Caleb Wood, Robert Tongue and Sgt Henry Challagher. The cost is likely to be �9.95 plus pp.

We are quite happy to receive advanced orders but send no money at this stage.

Many thanks

Julian will be very excited that you have found a new defender - Sgt Challagher! Seriously, these sound very good so please accept this as an advance order.

The name Kris Wheatley rings a bell, but I can't recall from where.

Kris and Peter,

Sorry for the slip - How could I forget Henry Edward Gallagher. I have given myself a severe reprimand!

Are you abel to confirm for me (in advance of publication) that French's Christian name was John and not George as Holme recorded? Martin queried this with me about 2 years ago. Everything I could find then pointed toward John (but I couldn't find his birth certificate) with George recorded in a couple of docs probably in error. I'd appreciate the confirmation.
