I once went to Pen and Swords the publishers of Bills books on the Pals, they told me its not saleable very few will buy a book like that for just one name, you may sell a couple to military museums, and may be a couple of libraries, but we need to print and sell 300 ciopies to break even, and a books like that will never make it.
I took on the task because to me a bloke with out a hobby is gonna die an early death, and I've always had hobbies since I were a kid, sat ont kerb edge carving Spitfires an Huricanes out of lumps of fire wood, Its a hobby and keeps me occupied, just as I'm at present with all the 11th East Lancs medal cards sorting them out making them presentable with their full name rank and number.
