Just published ... A new book about one of our most famous members
Colonel Harry Morrey Salmon is fondly remembered as one of our most illustrious former members, however many of us are now too young or recent a member to know him (including me which is a situation I regret because he seems to have been a truly inspirational figure)
As the book flyer says, he was Hailed as "Welsh Ornithologist of the century" and "Father of British Bird Photography". He was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds in 1971
We are therefore very happy to be able to promote a new book that has been published by members of his Family
You can download a flyer with full details of the book and how to order a copy by clicking here
He was treasurer of the National Museum of Wales which is an organization that the society has always had close links with and they now house his photographic collections
Having just read his obituary which can be found online here and a number of other on-line references to his illustrious military career (in both world wars) I can say that I will be getting a copy and hope to be able to bring you a review fairly soon
Regards
Andy
