Anyone have a copy of "With the Jocks" about the Coldstream guards in WW2?

My grandfather's half-brother is mentioned in this book - which is written as a diary by a Coldstream Guards officer. Apparently it gives the circumstances of how he was killed in Germany (I think) during the second world war.  If you have a copy I would be very interested to hear from you.

Hi Marcus

If no one comes up with a copy might be worth checking out www.alibris.co.uk or www.amazon.co.uk to see if you can pick up a second hand copy for yourself...

Think this about the KOSBs rather than the Coldstream.
