Militaria Collectors - Please keep watch for this!

The email below was posted on another forum. It is self explanatory. However, it has been suggested the vile thief who this, may have to look to other parts of the world in order to profit from his/her theft. Please add this to any other forums you might frequent.....................



Friends,

Some months ago someone entered the church of St Martin in Hereford (UK) and removed the SAS regiments book of condolence.

http://www.herefordjournal.com...2.php

This book is very precious, the Regiment, the church and the families and friends of those buried in the church want it back.

We would appreciate being notified should anyone hear about this book being offered for sale. Together we need to make it impossible for the person responsible for this despicable act to benefit from their deed.

We can arrange for the book to be returned without questions being asked although the police and other ‘parties’ are actively engaged in the recovery of this irreplaceable book.

If the person responsible for removing the book is reading this I would ask you to please search your conscience, this is a trinket to you. It is much more than that to the families and friends of those on extended patrol.

If anyone has any information regarding the book please contact me at: hktrooper@hotmail.co.uk

Thank you

Sad and stupid thing to do. It would be in the thiefs best interrest to return the book unscanted. The brave men of the S.A.S. should be remembered as they deserve.

I can't believe why anyone would wan't to steal it. It's worthless to those with honour and very unhealthy for the person having it illegally in his possesion.

There should be a special place in hell for people who steal things like that.

I'm quite sure there are some people who will gladly make sure he will get there.

I'm not a militaria collector, but I'm sorry to hear that story. Hope that condolence book will return in good condition!

Will add my wishes for safe return of this item. It's disgusting that anyone would steal this. I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of whoever took this.
