viewed through a shockwave application on

computer. These were originally published
in the wayning years of Jeffery Hamm's
Union Movement and it runs from 1986 to
1995. It is of mostly historical interest
revisiting the events of the movement with
historical fact - making it quite invaluable
to anyone researching the truth about the
BUF during the war, biographies of
important members, and other important
events. Most Members of British Union
survived the war and so it is endearing to
see what happened to so many of the faces
from the 1930's familliar to the historians

artwork used in the newsletter, as well as
many photos which provide new insight into

However, and despite this, on a day-to-day

The office has also allowed the New British
