British Tanks, 1946-1970; Tanks of Other Nations – Germany (An Illustrated Record of the Development of Armoured Fighting Vehicles series) (Two volumes)

Two booklets produced by the Royal Armoured Corps Tank Museum at Bovington Camp, Wareham in Dorset.  Stapled booklets, with plentiful monochrome photograph illustrations, in printed stiff card covers.  8vos.  Both volumes very gentle edge wear to card covers, which show some shelf wear.  The volume regarding British Tanks has a previous owner’s name boldly inked inside the front covers, else neat, clean and tight throughout.

These volumes from the library of the late George R P Gush. Gush, head of history at West Kent College, is best remembered as a key contributor to the development of early wargaming, and as an active wargamer especially in Renaissance wargames.  His Renaissance Armies (1975) has become a classic work on the topic.  He founded the Tunbridge Wells Wargames Society in the late 1960s, remaining its chairman until 2007.  A regular contributor to various wargaming and modelling magazines, he authored with Andrew Finch  A Guide to Wargaming (1980) and the well-regarded Wargames Rules for Fifteenth to Seventeenth Centuries.
