King's College London

Lewis is working on the way in which the Empire’s contribution to the war effort was described in books on British history written in the post-war period. He had hoped to get these from the British Library but, for obvious reasons, can’t go there…

If anyone has any of the following works and might be able to scan some relevant pages we would be incredibly grateful.

You can contact Lewis by email – lewis.hickmott@kcl.ac.uk or on twitter @IncognitoWizard

Many thanks in advance!
