Message from Mark Tanner;

Dear Paul,

I am writing to let you know about the launch of a new ebook that should appeal to Legion members with an interest in the First World War.

WAR LETTERS VOL   1.      

War Letters 1914–1918, Vol. 1 is based on the letters of Wilbert Spencer, a 17 year-old British officer who enlists in August 1914 and dies in the Battle of Neuve Chapelle in March 1915. Engaging, emotional and full of character, it is hard to imagine anyone        not being moved by Wilbert’s letters.

FREE OFFER

It is available on a special free offer at Amazon next week from Monday 16 June to Friday 20 June inclusive. http://www.amazon.co.uk/War-Letters-1914-1918-Vol-Wilbert-ebook/dp/B00JNNXS90.

Along with Wilbert’s letters, the book includes extensive notes which in almost all cases contain direct links to free online resources. Those links include battalion diaries, war memoirs, military training manuals, official histories, trench maps, documentary films and much, much more. More information about the book can be found at http://warletters.net

KING’S  REGULATIONS 1914

Any Legion member downloading the book will also qualify for a free PDF of the King’s Regulations (1914). This is a high-quality (70 MB) copy of the original document.

All members have to do is email mark@warletters.net with proof of having downloaded the free ebook (or any other ebook in the series), from Amazon and I will send them a personal link to download the King’s Regulations.

FREE READING APP

Importantly, people don’t need a Kindle to read the books. Amazon offer a free kindle reading app which enables any PC, MAC, Tablet or phone to be used as a Kindle reader. It can be downloaded from http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000493771

If you think any of your members might be interested in the book, I would be very grateful if you could let them know.

With best regards,

Mark
