Kuno Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Colleagues; please allow me to do some advertising for the just published book of Jonathan Pittaway. He is helping me a lot with the project "Incident at Jebel Sherif".... Cheers, Kuno LRDG Rhodesia The second issue of this book by Jonathan Pittaway is actually a completely new book. The content in very brief words is this: 1. over 1000 previously unpublished pics 2. maps, documents, badges, militaria, medals etc 3. 468 action packed full colour gloss pages. 4. all Rhodesian LRDG medal citations 5. full Rhodesian Rolls, Roll of Honour, Awards, Nominal Roll etc. 6. most stories by veterans and serving LRDG patrolmen My copy is on the way. Yours can be ordered here: www.dandy.co.za agencies@iafrica.com (I will post more as soon as the book has arrived, respectively as soon as I am back to Europe to pick it up… may take a wile…) Quote
Rick W Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Was there mention of your exploits being filmed Kuno? Quote
Kuno Posted January 6, 2009 Author Posted January 6, 2009 Rick; the book was under process for quite a long time - it is most probably always the case that just when you think to close the research, soething additional pops up. So actually the setup was fixed long before I had the trip with the TV crew (and I was really not the "star" there, this was not the idea at all). However; I had the chance to contribute a small epilogue to Jonathan's book - it was about the one and only clash between the LRDG and the German "Sonderkommando Dora". Else I am curious about the content as you... I have not yet seen it :-) Quote
Rick W Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Im sure I saw mention of the filming on MLU? Quote
Kuno Posted January 6, 2009 Author Posted January 6, 2009 That's correct; in May 2008 we were with a TV crew to search the traces of the LRDG in the South; in particular in relation to the Incident at Jebel Sherif. This was together with Brendan O'Carroll and Roberto Chiarvetto (who are both together with me in the final stages of a book to the same subject ;-)). Quote
Rick W Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 So are there any plans for it to be televised? Quote
Kuno Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 It will be on TV in the second quarter of this year. But in NZ. Quote
Rick W Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 You will have to let us know if we are able to watch it via a webcast or similar. Quote
