I am the Secretary of the Friends of Firepower here in the UK, and am currently working on a book, entitled as per the subject line (currently 60 A4 pages and growing).  It has received the backing of the DRA and the Regimental Colonel.  I am willing to let gunners have a copy of the draft (my copyright), via e-mail if they are interested.  I am also looking for more abbreviations and terms to add to the book.  It has been suggested that Canadian, Australian and New Zealand terms should be included, and I am more than happy to do so, provided that provenance can be given.

I look forward to hearing from interested parties (if any!)

 
BC- Battery Commander...
Gnr-Privet
Bdr-Corporal
