Re: New Book - Fremantle to France - 11th Battalion AIF
My order is on the way.
I have some 25 members from this Bn in the Camel Corps if you want there names.
Also I noticed in the Belford Book pages 45/46 he did not say into which company the eight to four company grouping went.
Most of the original Bn's had eight companies which were reduced to four in Jan 1915. I was wondering if you had the break up so I could find out where a soldier from the embarked F company went.
If you can follow my writtings.

It's all in the book and in all the ROLLS Steve. I also marked anyone who served with the Camel Corps in the ROLLS with a hash sign and acknowledged you in the acknowledgements. Hope this meets your approval.

Re: New Book - Fremantle to France - 11th Battalion AIF
Ian - congratulations on the successful release of your superb and well received book - the huge turn-out and 'frenzy' to obtain copies was just amazing. I have been informed by many people who have a photo of the 11th Battalion on the pyramids that this is just fantastic - and furthermore the number of people from overseas that have contacted me re your book is staggering. Well done, Roy

Thanks Roy. Everything went really well and it was great to have you there with your fantastic 11 Bn Pyramid photo - superb.The books are fast selling out without going to bookshop release. Over 500 gone last count. Thanks also to all who attended the launch and who have supported the book.

Re: New Book - Fremantle to France - 11th Battalion AIF
Hello Gents
I can see that that this message board is very old...however I am looking for a good copy of Ian Gill's book 'Fremantle to France'.
Are there any available still? Have checked eBay and other sources.
