This is what started it all, for me...........

[Robin Lumsden]

'Discovering Militaria', by Peter Newman.

I got this little book when I was about 12 years old, and was immediately 'hooked'.

I still enjoy reading it.

A great little book that spawned many, many children.......................

Brian L Davis used to live about a mile from me, I suppose because I was so young at the time he didnt want to talk to me
