A Sturdy Race of Men - 149th Brigade by Alan Isaac Grint
Indepth look at The Northumberland Fusiliers, one of the largest infantry regiments (52 battalions).
Alan Grint is a Northumbrian, born and brought up in Ashington, north east of Newcastle upon Tyne.
With a BSc and PhD from Manchester University, followed by a Post Doctorate at Newcastle, Alan spent many years as a carbon specialist/scientist, before changing direction in 2001, when he founded Cogito Books, an award winning independent bookshop in Hexham in rural Northumberland.
Increasingly fascinated with The Great War, he and his wife have visited CWG cemeteries in France, Belgium, Turkey and Syria, researching the military careers of local men killed in action. His books The Faith and Fire Within and In Silent Fortitude cover the men of Hexham and the North Tyne Valley respectively. His website [www.ashingtonmemorial.com] is devoted to the soldiers of Ashington who died in the conflict.
He divides his time between Hexham and the Limousin region of France.
