RWF May 1940 unpublished account for sale

[Clive Hughes]

Folks,
Just spotted this item on eBay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Farewell-t...item5af13ffd55 3 days left.

Seems to be a 111 -page account covering service in May 1940 by J.L.King, Signals Oficer 1st RWF. Thought I'd flag it up.

Thanks, Clive. It will be of interest to the Museum, so I've forwarded the information to Gen Riley.

Hopefully if the regiment moves quickly, the seller might be persuaded to withdraw it and sell direct. Shame if it goes elsewhere.

Good luck to the Regiment in obtaining this item they are the only people who it should go to in my opinion.

I am pleased to report that General Riley has taken the matter in hand and will do his utmost to secure the document for the Regiment.

Fingers crossed then, who knows there may even be something in it that will help us with the Anthony Corkhill thread.

I have aways thought that things relating to any Regiment should go to that regiment and not into private hands never to be seen by anyone except the owner.

Cheers

The seller obviously isnt going to withdraw it and sell direct to the Regiment else it would not be still up for bids.

I've whacked in a bid in using a snipe tool. But I see there are two main bidders, so I suspect it might go for a tidy sum.

[dcdl12976]

Agreed most bids tend to go in during the last three or four minuits or later so we will know in about24 mins.

By the way if you want to chuck in an extra £20 i will send you the money mate.
