Mansel letter?
Author Message Drummer Boy 14 Posts : 1987Join date : 2011-08-01Age : 22 Subject: Mansel letter? Fri Dec 08, 2017 10:17 pm Snook mentions a letter from Mansel that records 50 24th lying in a group that he further suggests belong to A Company 1/24th. Does anyone know where this Mansel letter is from or where it is quoted in full as Snook does not give foot notes. Cheers for any help Sam
