Afternoon all
Just a note to say thanks to Michael Calvert for an excellent feature on my forthcoming book in the march LF which plopped onto my doormat today.
A number of folk on here have been very enthusiastic and supportive of the project and pre-ordered copies of the book. Thank you to all and I hope the article provides a useful 'taster' for the finished book which is out on 30th April.
I hope to be at a few shows/retailers in due course - just taken delivery of the promo stands !

Very kind of you to say so thank you indeed. It's been an eye-opener for sure. I knew he'd had a rough time but I had no idea just how rough ...
If you'd like to read a snippet there is a short download on my website - I warn you it's not an easy read

Just read this snippet from the book it's not surprising that so many of these men never spoke about their experiences can't wait to now read this book thank you for sharing your father's experiences with us
Yup quite a grim read. You're welcome, I hope you like the book when its out in a few weeks and thank you for posting.

I've just read that snippet and it is quite harrowing but will look forward to reading the book. There must be many tales out there of similar stories but sadly we are losing those who can recall them. Well done on your extensive research.
