Nothing further as yet. ![]() The only proof that the book does/will exist, is mention of it on page 92, in Edmund Yorke's recent 'Battle Story: Isandlwana 1879' book - The page tells a (very) short biography of Anthony, then at the bottom it says - (Main Source: S. Coleridge, Life of Colonel Anthony Durnford, forthcoming 2012). If I hadn't seen this, I'd have doubted the book was even real. I'm not sure why there is going to be no earlier publicity or pre-order facility, as it creates an air of mystery and expectations, which could end up being a big disappointment. ![]() Well, we are into the fourth month of 2012, so hopefully something will be heard about it soon. ![]() Coll |

This is also from Yorke's book, page 8 -
'Mrs Susan Coleridge, currently working on a major reappraisal of the life of Colonel Anthony Durnford, has been a most useful source of information, especially on Durnford's still controversial role at Isandlwana.' Coll |

Thanks. ![]() Personally, I've given up looking for any details on the release date, author, publisher - rather waiting for it to magically appear. Coll |

Hi Coll, I was just glancing back over this thread; could Ed Yorke be referring to a student working on a post-graduate thesis or dissertation, therefore forthcoming, but not actually going to be published as such? That would certainly explain the complete lack of publicity.

Yes. It may be a possibility. As the silence by both author and publisher is puzzling ![]() It could be also that it is a 2013/14 release rather than this year, which might explain publicity being held off at the moment until confirmation. A case of waiting at present. ![]() Coll |

Coll,
Have spoken to Ed Yorke. He informs me that the author is still working on the book;other social activities measure equally in her life. So, book is being written, but it won't be out soon. Keep watching out. I'm sure more will follow. AMB |

Coll,
The research is certainly being done; publication may take a little longer. AMB |
