    Default JMA is OK

    JMA is alive and well I can report. He is working hard in security in a new place, not very new for him as he's been there for at least eight months IIRC. It appears he no longer checks in on SWC.

    Back to the book itself. Since the book is very much a photo gallery, with accompanying text, plus the size I doubt it will become an e-book.

    Default In appreciation...

    I surface above the jungle canopy of West Africa to express my thanks for the review. As the 2nd edition of the book has now appeared as a mainstream publication the challenges of obtaining a copy should now be a thing of the past. The royalties still go to the regimental association where they are applied to serve an ageing membership, some with residual PTSD issues. Thank you for your support.
