Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: VG+. Condizione sovraccoperta: VG+. Photos, Sketches (illustratore). 1st. Major was the mascot of the 19 Battalion and Armoured Regiment of the NZ Army from 1940 to 1944, serving in North Africa, and Italy, wounded in the former and dying of illness in Italy in 1944, to be buried alongside two officers from the regiment. Such was Major's military status that an exception to a rule, permitting him to return to NZ after the war ended, could not actioned. Major, a bull terrier was actually an Australian dog, but was brought to NZ by his officer owner who was under training at the Royal Military College there. When he sailed on a troop ship the Middle East in 1940, Major went along too, but he was not commissioned until 1941 and became Major Major after his wounds in 1942. This is an amazing, humerous and often sad story of one dog's army life, and death. However, woven into the story is that of another dog, Duda, an Italian pooch captured in the Desert and said to have been the "happiest POW in the MIddle East." A vastly different war story. 180 pages uncluding bibliography, 17 b/w photos, frontis and several other sketches by NZ war artist Peter McIntyre. Green hard covers with gilt spine titles VG+, text block NF, no inscriptions. Colour art DJ, again by Peter McIntyre, VG+ with sunning to spine. Codice articolo 003570

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. No notes or highlighting. See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> The beginnings of this story lie in a short bus ride in the city of Athens in the mid-sixties. It was just going home from their week's work. The bus was crowded and with two friends, Allan Cole and Bruce Martin, I was straphanging. It was a short, sentimental journey two good friends had agreed to share. Memories from childhood told me my scoutmaster, Bruce McClymont, was buried in the Commonwealth War Cemetery at Phaleron, and I wanted to see his grave. Memory told me also that Bruce McClymont was a big gentle man who smiled rather more often than he spoke but, then, to an 11-year-old, most men seem impressively large. When he came to the hydro village of Arapuni he was a recently graduated engineer and newly married. He probably had no wish to become involved with a bunch of rowdy village kids but my recollection suggests he was the kind of man who would have found it inordinately difficult to say no. I rest on that appreciation of him, though memory certainly played me false in another way. He is not bur. Codice articolo Batch-FM191-VG-4571
