Hello here! As I was travelling to Scotland recently, I tried to visit a few book shops in the area. I drove through Berwick on tweed and visited Bastion Books.
While this shop was a small room it sells solely Military subjects and they are well and clearly divided inti different periods of history.
There was also a lovely selection of military prints which will soon be framed and on the walls of the wargaming cabin.
This was British cavalry attacking Russian cavalry at the Battle of Balaklava
Here the 42nd Highlanders at Quatre Bras.
This a given as it was the 9th Regiment of Foot at the Battle of 'Roleia'.
Here a corporal of the 15th Light Dragoons killing a French Colonel at the Battle of Campo Mayor.
These were only £10 each.
These two purchases were prompted by a recent conversation about the '45 rebellion and the Uniform Illustrated was an addition to my existing series.
The Almark book was an addition to the collection I already have and I have started to read more about individual experiences of the Napoleonic Wars and have not seen this before.
With my holiday booked for next year and including a visit to Colditz and Stalag Luft III I bought these to do a bit of background reading.
While I do not think the shop has a website, they do have a Facebook page here.
If you are in the area this shop is definitely well worth a visit!
