| I have belatedly read of the death of the author Major Michael Barthorp. In our field his best remembered work is his The Zulu War: A Pictorial History.
For further details on Michael, please see: https://www.familynotices.je/moreinfo/51295/barthorp-major-michael-john
My late friend Kenneth Griffith had a term to describe such a loss in the Victorian Wars community: There’s another redcoat on the floor.
Thank you Michael for your splendid books and articles.
Rest in Peace.
JY

| That pretty much says it all John. Interestingly I was looking at my well thumbed version yesterday looking for a particular drawing. RIP |

| Hi
As I mentioned on another thread, when I was 13ish, I used my Christmas money to get two books - The Silver Wreath being one and the other was A Pictorial History...... by MB.
Along with Michael Caine, Michael Barthorp is probably as much to blame for my stupid questions on this forum.
RIP
