Description

8vo., First Edition, with a portrait frontispiece and 69 plates on 32; cloth, backstrip lettered in silver, a fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. The first history of GHLR (General Headquarters Liaison Regiment), code-named 'Phantom'. The brainchild of Colonel George Frederick Hopkinson, this elite unit was formed in 1940 to provide communications with front-line commanders and served in many different theatres throughout WWII. At Arnhem, for instance, it was the Phantom team that created Urquhart's only link with the outside world. EXTREMELY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.
