Oh, drop me in it why don't you?

Actually, no, I've not come across it before. It doesn't appear to be in the British Library catalogue. I am making further enquiries.

My information is that it is a published version of the War History of 4th/D Battalion compiled at the end of WW1, but with an added section covering 1920 - 22. There are also some maps.

I can report that because of a "significant" birthday I am now the proud owner of the above. Many thanks to the memsahib for the gift, an acknowledgement of her good fortune.
