Tales of a County at War

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days

This book is my personal tribute to the hundreds, if not thousands, of men and women from the County of Midlothian who took part in a truly global conflict. The battlefield stretched from the North Atlantic and Iceland through Home Waters, occupied Europe, North Africa, Italy, the Far East and even distant Australia.

About John Duncan

John Duncan is an amateur military historian, who resides in Midlothian, Scotland. His first book Midlothian at War, is a series of short stories detailing the contribution of the men and women of Midlothian, Scotland in two World Wars. His book With a Pick and Rifle, with many previously unpublished photographs, follows the 8th Royal Scots from its roots in the Volunteers, through its forced marriage of the 6th and 7th Volunteers in 1908, to emerge as the 8th Battalion (Territorial Force) Royal Scots, their service in the Great War of 1914-1918 and their subsequent disbandment after the war. His third publication was Only Remembered, a joint venture with David Adams, another local historian from Midlothian, an illustrated guide to the war memorials of the county and a section on those taken as prisoners of war. John's latest book Midlothian in World War Two tells the stories of the part that Midlothian servicemen played in the global conflict with many photos of local combatants. From the Arctic to the Pacific and everywhere in-between, Midlothian played its part. John's latest books "The Heroes of the Great War" and "The Lads That Marched Away" tell the story of those who served in WW1 from the villages of Newtongrange and Easthouses, and Gorebridge and District respectively.
