Chug and Danny,
I'm glad you too recognise the sensitive man behind these memoirs. Jack Stafford's delightful writing combines vivid memories of youth with the maturity of the years. I am moved by his gradual darkening of tone reflecting the increasingly grim passage of the war. These young men came from the other side of the world to defend this country and so many did not return ...
More memoirs tomorrow, meantime best wishes to everyone.
