Holidays for Heroes - The Soldiers War - ends 24.8.12
In this auction you may bid for a once-read hardback copy of 'The Soldiers' War' by Richard van Emden. These are stories of the Great War told by veterans.
The book was donated by DB216LOKDVR as he's a bon oeuf.
Winning bid includes postage to UK or BFPO address.
The auction will run until
Friday, 24th August at 1600 hours (UK Time)
All proceeds to Holidays4Heroes. Usual Auction Rules apply.And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this
Is to open the breech, as you see. We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.
They call it easing the Spring: it is perfectly easy
If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,
And the breech, and the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,
Which in our case we have not got; and the almond-blossom
Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,
For today we have naming of parts.

Thank you my dears. As you've seen this week, PG can always find a use for the money!
And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this

Got this at home, where ever that is these days - heady read but good none the less.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
