Germany
No publisher given Staple bound card covers Very Good
64pp Semi-official booklet that it was issued to troops prior to entering Germany in the latter stages of the war when our armies have barely entered Germany and Hitler and the Nazi regime have not yet been overthrown. It has nothing to do with military operations and deals only with civilian life in life in Germany, and how to behave with the German civilian population. (Don't be too ready to listen to stories told by attractive women. They may be under orders.)( Marriages between British forces and Germans are, as you know, forbidden.) A fascinating and often (with hindsight) amusing piece of piece of military ephemera. Covers a bit grubby, but otherwise very good 103168

A Pictorial & Descriptive Guide to the Thames from Putney to Cricklade.
Ward Lock No date given Fifth Edition Very Good Illustrated with mono photos
Stiff cloth-covered card covers,. Rounded corners. Interesting notice from the publishers bound in saying that 'owing to the Control of Maps Order and other exigencies of the situation it is not at present possible to include the customary complete set of maps and plans in this guide.' Apart from the fact that calling W W 2 a 'situation' might be construed as a slight understatement, this would seem to date the edition fairly accurately. 435134
