Hello,

Do any of you military buffs out there have access to the hugely expensive
'The Annuity Meritorious Service Medal 1847-1953' by Ian McInnes ?

If so, would you be able to do a look-up for me please?

Edward Sharp 4437 Lancashire Fusiliers (Recieved 29-08-1945)

Thanking you in anticipation.

There is also a new copy from Amazon £72.95. As you say, very expensive for a one-off query! I suppose you have already tried asking at the library if they can locate a copy somewhere?

Are you in the UK? There is a copy available at libraries in Bristol, Edinburgh, Oxford, Cambridge, Wetherby and London.

This info is available at the World Catalogue site, which can tell you which libraries hold copies of whatever book you are looking for. I have located several out of print books like this and then your local library can get it for you.

The website is http://www worldcat.org
