About the Book

This re-issue of "Pyramids and Poppies" coincides with the hundredth anniversary of the formation of the First SA Brigade, in August 1915. The book tells the very personal story of the Brigade on the Western Front during the Great War 1914-1918: "The war to end all wars".

He served for many years on the Staff of Pretoria Boys' High School as teacher, Housemaster and Head of Department, English and also established a very successful School Pipe Band. He is a member of the Transvaal Scottish Regimental Council (since 1970), as well as being the Regimental Historian and until recently Honorary Curator of the Transvaal Scottish Regimental Museum, which he founded in 1964. He has been awarded the Military Merit Medal, John Chard Medal and Decoration. He served as Executive Director Museum and Archives of the General Smuts Foundation until 2012.

He is currently South African Representative on the Committee of the International Military Music Society. Digby has written three other books of military historical interest, contributed articles to journals on military-historical matters and has exhibited at various conventions. He is well known as a military researcher. Since 2006 he has been a consultant and Head of the Rare Book Department at Stephan Welz & Company (Pty) Limited (formerly Sotheby's) in Johannesburg.

Review :
"A wealth of maps, photographs, sketches, poems and songs compliment what is a gold mine of information for the Battlefield Guide. Thoroughly recommended" “A detailed history, packed with photographs and maps…brilliantly recounted by the author.”
