Just Found An Old Book
« on: 28 February 2010, 22:24:05 »
Started sorting out some stuff after moving home and found an old book dated 1915

The Dardanelles, By Norman Wilkinson.

I remember my Nan giving it me along with a load of other stuff when I was a kid, I twas her son's, my Uncle Andrew, sadly never met him as he was killed in the 2nd world war time, he was allways drawing pictures of battle ships, some of which are rather moth eaten and tetty round the edges that I dare not unroll them anymore (once I find them that is)


The books in good condition considering it's age and they way it has been looked after. 

Not sure if it's worth anything, but I dont think I would part with it anyway

Hoping to find a lot more similar stuff over the coming months.

Go on Gramps, put it on Dickisons Real Deal.
Ian Towning will give you £300 for it and a big kiss.

Got loads of books that have been passed down the family, dont think they are of value, got loads of wood working books and early radio ham type books, never even looked inside them.
