Default Pioneers of Australian Armour

Gents,

Proud to say that the book by me and my co-author, David Finlayson, has been picked up by Pen & Sword in the UK and is to be released later this year into the UK, Europe and USA.

Quite elated about that. I think it is the first time that a military history book from the BigSky Publishing stable has been picked up by a prominent overseas publisher for release overseas.

Already have a copy! Had it for many months now.
A good read, and not heavy going or 'dry' like some historical books tend to be.
Well done, that man!

Congratulations Mike! Glad to see this history being researched and documented for all to see (now and in the future). Great work!

Thanks Wayne.

The book was originally published by BigSky/Army History Unit in 2015 under the name 'Pioneers of Australian Armour In the Great War', but Pen & Sword have opted to drop the Australian reference, which is unfortunate as far as I'm concerned. Still, nice to be picked up by a European publisher, and they are not changing any of the contents, apparently.

Mike
