August1914

Hello, I'm quite interested in the your English Translation. Please let me know of the status of this work!

I have been researching Thord-Gray's service in the Mexican Revolution, which at first I found to be so incredible as to be unbelievable. But over the years, I have found corroborating evidence which has erased all my doubts. For example, Thord-Gray's outlandish account of his conflict with Maj. Merigo, commander of Obregon's artillery. I came across a rare copy of a memoir of the Mexican Revolution written by an American journalist, George Weeks, who was assigned to cover Carranza at the time of Thord-Gray's service. Weeks tells his own version of the Merigo incident, which is just as outlandish as that of Thord-Gray.

Hello, I wrote the biography of MjGen Ivor Thord-Gray published in Swedish 2008. Now beeing translated to English.
