A handsome 1964 first edition of Nine Flames by Ken Anderson, published by Purnell & Sons (S.A.) Pty. Ltd., Cape Town and Johannesburg. This important work records the story of the South African Engineer Corps during the Second World War, covering their service in East Africa, Palestine, North Africa and Italy.
Ken Anderson’s detailed account follows the men of the South African Engineers through wartime campaigns and highlights the crucial but often overlooked role they played in military operations.
