This book, which I wrote, contains many good stories about the 95th but is not focused ONLY on the 95th.
My grandfather is Dick Smith and his story was in the first book you listed, the one by Ian Hawkins. My grandfather also has a more comprehensive book that he wrote a few years later. Not sure if you have a copy of it or not. It will be available as an online PDF soon.
