Default WW2 Cap Badge book
Just to let everyone know:

British Army Cap Badges of the Second World War
by Peter Doyle and Chris Foster (Shire, 2012) is now available.

Thanks to all who assisted with this. The forum gets a good mention. Those who supplied me with images, I owe a book to. If you'd like to pm or e-mail me, I'll sort this out.

Best wishes
Peter

It can be bought through Shire itself (http://www.shirebooks.co.uk/store/Br..._9780747810919)

or, through Amazon (cheaper)

Looking forward to buying one, Peter. Your book on WW1 badges was excellent. Chapters Indigo, here in Canada has a good online deal on it.

Thanks for the post but mine is already in the mail.Your book has been on ebay since January, not sure if you are aware of this. If it is as good as your WW1 book then I'm sure everybody will be well pleased.

Cheers Paul.

Book received today.Well Done.

he two volumes between them are truly excellent.

Perhaps our experts could list the inevitable errata for those, like me, interested but ignorant?

My copy from Amazon arrived yesterday - excellent and many thanks. Are you going to do a post WW2 - National Service and "Small Wars" edition?

we'd love too, but those funny shiny badges (I think they are called 'anodised' or something ) might be a step too far for us

Hi Peter
I have just ordered your WW2 book and can't wait for it to arrive. I have your WW1 book which I think is excellent and would recommend to anyone to get, the colour pictures I think are a great help to an inexperienced collector like myself.

Rob
