Does anyone have contact info for Darren FARROW.  Joined 1985, went thru RCR Battleschool 1986 (Apeldorn Pl).  Posted to 1 RCR, London until 1988 then went over to 3 RCR in Germany.  Back in Canada about 1992 ish in Pet.  Lost contact with him sometime ago.  Known as "The Bear" by those of us...

Outstanding book, got it for Christmas.  Well actually my wife bought me "Shake hands with the Devil" and there was no way I would support that waste of skin so I traded it in for Ortona. Has lots of first hand accounts from both sides.  Has anyone read any of his other books?

Does anyone had a book which lists the names and citations of WW1 Military Medal (MM) winners?  A relative of mine earned one in WW1, but no one knows why. Thanks in advance.
