Hello Nick,

I'm doing some research for a television production company who are looking into whether there's a potential programme in there somewhere - it's such an interesting angle to look at the war I'm really hoping there's something I can find.

Would you mind if I contacted you again once I've had a look at your book, perhaps?

Hi Nick,

Thank you so much for your reply. Your book looks absolutely perfect, I'll order a copy of it first thing tomorrow!

Essentially I'm looking for a story to tell about a specific motorcycle dispatch rider/one particular journey - so I'm interested in anyone who had an out-of-the-ordinary dispatch mission (either the route itself or because something of particular interest happened to them along the way). Or - and this may not be possible - if we know of a particularly important message that was carried by motorcycle dispatch, and I could follow the route of that.

It looks like your book will certainly be great step in the right direction - are there any other sources you think I ought to look into?

(By the way, is there a way I might be able to email you directly? Or is it best to chat on here?)

Best wishes and thank you again,

Hannah

Hello Nick,

I know your posts relating to the WW1 dispatch riders were a few years ago now but I would love to pick your brains a bit about your research, as I'm just starting to investigate the same thing. I'm planning a trip to the archives tomorrow and would love any pointers - would you mind me asking your advice on few things?

Thank you in advance!

Hannah
