Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In 1940 Ted Fogg and Ernest Webster joined The Desert Rats, one of the most famous divisions to fight in the Second World War. They were posted to the Western Desert and fought with the 7th Armoured Division against Mussolini's soldiers and Rommel's Afrika Korps. They were at Beda Fomm, Alamein and Tripoli, finally driving the Axis from Africa at Tunis. Next came Salerno and the Italian Campaign before withdrawal to Britain in readiness for D-Day. Moving through France, Belgium, Holland and on into Germany itself, they were both present at Luneburg Heath when Montgomery took the final surrender of the German Forces in north-west Europe. Eventually they took part in the great Victory Parade in Berlin in 1945. The Desert Rats Scrapbook is the story of these two young men, told through over 180 photographs, many from the personal collection of the late Trooper Ted Fogg who was attached to TAC HQ, and the recollection of Sergeant Ernest Webster who was a tank driver and later was attached to HQ as a planner. Their friendship continued until Ted Fogg's death in 1986. Ernest Webster, at the age of 92, lives on at his home in Derbyshire. Roger Fogg, who painstakingly collated this unique record, is Ted's son. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Colour photographs and illustrations, bibliography. Black boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine new copy in dust-wrapper. In this new book, Roger Fogg presents a detailed exposition of the wet-fly, giving much of its history and the varying opinions and experiences of its proponents, as well as much material on patterns and tying. This is complemented by an equally detailed account of fishing techniques and methods. "Wet-Fly Tying and Fishing outlines four categories of wet-flies, and describes how to dress them and how to fish them with specialized tackle on rivers and stillwaters. Flies such as Snipe and Purple, Orange Partridge, Rough Olive, Claret Bumble, Heckham Peckham and Peter Ross figure in this book, along with many other successful patterns. Not only does the author expertly describe how to tie and fish them, he also provides fascinating historical background. the author imparts the knowledge that we can gain from past masters such as W.H. Aldam, James Chetham, Charles Cotton, H.C. Cutcliffe, H.H. Edmonds, N.N. Lee, John Jackson, James Leisenring, T.E. Pritt, W.C. Stewart and Michael Theakston. There are times to fish the nymph or the dry-fly, but undoubtedly there are also times when the wet-fly will produce the best results." Chapters include: The historical perspective; When to fish the wet-fly; Tackle for wet-fly fishing; Wet-fly fishing on rivers; Wet-fly fishing on stillwaters; Soft-hackled flies (North-Country flies, or 'spiders'); Little winged wet-flies; Palmers; Loch, or lake flies. .
