Nice collection there Jimmy. Do you also ship overseas? You live in New Zealand, right. Don't bother I will come there.
I'll take these off your hands:

1914 - Field Marshal Viscount French of Ypres
Verdun - Jules Romain
Gallipoli - Alan Moorehead
The British Campaign in France and Flanders 1914 - Arthur Conan Doyle


Whatever Fuchs is offering I can offer more  :)

BWAHAHA! LET THE BIDDING WAR COMMENCE!
But in all seriousness, just those four you selected there are ALL first editions, so you'd have to offer a pretty penny for them ;)
That being said I now have two first editions of Adolf Gallands 'The First and the Last'.
Dammit Jimmy! Your one lucky bastard  ;)
