Just noticed that there's a new book being released about the Colonial Units, including their muster rolls: http://www.tokenpublishing.com/shop.asp?pid=7750.
Does anyone know any more about this work? Regards Andrew |

Andrew,
Just got my copy. As Peter says, not cheap, but it looks a superb piece of work. A great many thanks for the heads up. AMB |

Having just bought the medal to Ggt Major Willson of the Buffalo Border Guard I succumbed and bought a copy too............

My copy arrived today. Well worth the money and an excellent piece of work. I suspect that there is nothing "new" among the accounts of the units, but this combines them in a single volume and saves having to scour half a dozen other books.
What is new is the level of medal on the men who served - forenames, enlistment and discharge dates, and odd snippets. So a welcome addition to the library. I should add that the focus is on the war against Cetewayo. So units that didn't feature in the campaign, such as the Cape Mounted Yeomanry, are not included. Peter |

Awesome, thanks for the reviews gents! �45 is quite a lot for one tome, but if it does collate several books together, then I too will succumb and purchase it! Inevitably it will prove its worth during research!
Thanks again Andrew |

45 pounds, eh? For you. For me much more being here in the States. They tack on a hefty shipping charge too. Looks like it's getting more and more expensive to study the AZW. I'm going to ask Alan and Peter if I can get coupons here.............

Rich,
10% off if you collect. I didn't know that was your name, I thought it was a description. |

heh heh I guess I now have disabused you of that fanciful notion. I am not repeat not a "trustafarian" nor am I reaping the benefits of my input to a social system which will be creaking with all seeking to empty out their part of the account shortly!.... I am a simple man..thank you Alan!
I will be saving my "pence". |
