| The Story of The Border Regiment 1939-1945, Philip J. Shears. Published by Nisbet & Co., London,
Although there is no general index, Appendix I does list regimental numbers for NCO and men appearing in the lists. Most of the Battalion chapters have one or more Nominal Rolls of officers, usually at the date the Battalion proceeded overseas and other significant dates.I'm happy to check the various lists if anyone is looking for a particular name. |

| Hi, also just repeating my reply in another thread to this subject, Paul
“I wish I knew where he finds copies for £10 - they seem to usually go for about £40 -£50! They are very hard to find, I have only seen three for sale in this area (one of which I bought, but I didn't spend too much - £20). Yes it is a rare book because in those days (post WW2, paper shortages etc.) books were expensive possessions, hence why more people used libraries. The reason it is a first edition is because there never was a second edition! It's case of if you want a copy, you have to buy it when you see it, and accordingly pay the price. With the 100th anniversary of WW1 coming up, people forget it is also the 75th anniversary of WW2 and thus I reckon Second World War prices will also become expensive. |

I really wouldn't mind paying £40-50 for something I knew I would enjoy reading and keeping in my collection (can't really call it that yet as it doesn't consist of very much at the moment) but obviously £10-20 is certainly more like the kind of price I would prefer to pay. If I know I am going to pay more for such a collectible item I'd probably keep a reserve just in case it cropped up somewhere and I could get it at a moment's notice.....but sadly these things NEVER crop up whenever I look for them 
Maybe he was lucky in finding it for that low price or he just forgot how much he really paid for it. |
