Thanks for that !

Indeed, about 1973 I bought some of the Nelson volumes in a 2nd hand bookshop on George IV Bridge, Edinburgh – the 1st, 2nd (original), 6th, 9th, 58th LAA plus a thinner “The Argylls in Korea”. A couple of those dark green leather volumes were missing their dust-jackets, but the last three had theirs – purple and dark green with diagonal Argylls’ dicing band and “The Argylls in Korea” was I think similar but a dark blue in lieu of purple and the volume was blue I think. I also bought an excellent big old history of the 15th Scottish Div in WW2 (complete with photos, coloured maps with tissue protection leaves etc.). All the books are long-gone – “hors de divorce”. I always recall “The Argylls in Korea” had a wonderful posed photo of Piper Pitkeathly with his hands over his ears as he lets an American PFC (called Gethen ?) try out his pipes ! How do I still remember that after 30-odd years ?

I also recall a photo, in an Argylls volume, of an Argylls RA detachment (light ack-ack) beside their Bofors gun at a 1944 liberation exhibition in Paris. Logic tells me that it must be the 58th LAA (A&SH) which I believe was based on the 4th Argylls and therefore I had the Nelson book too, but my memory is duller on it being the 4th Argylls or not.

Were the 91st and 93rd Anti-Tank in the same Nelson volume ? I can’t recall.
Did Mileham mention the 5th and 6th (MG) Battalions being in Malaya in 1942 ? That is a complete revelation to me and I would like to verify that it occurred.

I wish I still had my books !
