Unbelievable, when the two-volume, Shotokan Dawn: A Seleced Early History of Shotokan Kaeate in Great Britain (1956-1966) was actually in the process of being printed, Vernon Bell, the founder of the British Karate movement, discovered a box containing lost files and two British Federation registers, after more than seven years searching. Much of the data within these files and registers, not only filled in the gaps that were apparent in Shotokan Dawn, but added highly significant new information.
