Book Launch of "Who's Afear'd?"

Book Launch of "Who's Afear'd?"

KET Managing Trustee Sylvia May and trustee Dr Robert Lyman MBE attended the book launch of Who's Afear'd? - the story of the 2nd Dorsets at the Battle of Kohima.  The book launch took place on 13th May in Dorchester.

Sylvia was delighted to attend and KET is extremely grateful to Christopher Jary who has very generously donated copies of his book for KET to sell, with all proceeds going to our work in Nagaland. Copies of Who's Afear'd? are available on the KET website shop.

Dr Lyman commented: 

"It was a real privilege to be in Dorchester...for the launch of Christopher Jary’s 12th book, on the subject of fabulous 2nd Dorsets at Kohima. It’s a cracking read, with some wonderful new material. Please do buy this book: the courage and fighting stamina of the besieged garrison and the relieving 2nd Division (of which 2nd Dorsets were a part) is worthy of remembrance. Christopher has told their story with aplomb."
