hidden and appears to be overlooked by historians. Even though Dad overcame many adversities, the affects of war trauma prevented him from achieving his full potential. World War Two ended in 1945, but for many, the after affects live on. Dad's book is unusual, it avoids militaristic bravado, instead his account of events is given from a humane viewpoint. My Father does not fit the regimental stereotypical criteria that the media perpetuates; he has never worn his medals or chosen to belong to any regimental associations. His unique book speaks for the silent masses of ordinary individuals regardless of nationality, whose views are seldom, if ever, heard.
