Book launch

Our immediate past president, Col. Rod Arnold had almost completed the above book when he was very sadly taken from us on the 17th August 2019. Completed on his behalf by his brother officers, this book will stand testament to his undying loyalty to the Regiment, and to the Association, he so proudly served. To be published in both hardback and paperback versions, the book will be very shortly available through the on-line shop at prices to be announced.

The images here are of the book’s front cover, the author and the parish church of St. John the Baptist, Boldre, Hampshire where a service of thanksgiving was given in September 2019.
