'A thrilling collection of stories featuring the exploits of the Society's members' - Western Daily Press

'There are fascinating nuggets of information and much humour ... I congratulate Hugh Leach and Susan Farrington on a job very well done.' - Asian Affairs

Hugh Leach, OBE, has been a member of the Society for 40 years and twice served on its Council. Most of his 36 years service as a soldier and diplomat were spent between the Nile and the Euphrates. Now in retirement, he is interested in exploring between the Oxus and Jaxartes. Also on the Society's Council, Susan Farrington typed her way around the world before taking up research into British graveyards in Asia.
