PS. Is this memoir published?

Yes, under the title "SO FEW GOT THROUGH, The personal diary of Lieut.-Col. Martin Lindsay, D.S.O., M.P., who served with the Gordon Highlanders in the 51st Highland Division from July, 1944, to May, 1945", by Martin Lindsay; published by Collins, London, England, 1946.

The copy I have is a first edition (1946), but I have seen this book in reprint within the last couple of years.

Cheers
