Fetch Felix is well worth reading. (I borrowed it from the local library years ago and this has prompted me to get a copy for myself.)
I think I dipped into the Peter Gurney book, once... various anecdotes (the very large naval shell found in a public toilet cesspit in the Middle East was amusing, there was also one about burning out knocked-out tanks to get rid of unexploded ammunition - the one where the gunner's last act had been to close the breech...). So I've ordered that as well.
Other purchases: Softly tread the brave, and Designed to kill.
A WW2 one I remember being interested in (to the point of remembering the content) is "Unexploded Bomb" by Major A.B.Hartley, but I think I've spent enough for this month!
Chris.
