WHEN MY MOTHER DIED, I TOOK SOME PAPERS, BUT DIDN'T GO THROUGH THEM UNTIL LAST YEAR. TO MY SURPRISE I FOUND A DIARY WRITTEN BY MY UNCLE FROM THE TIME HE LEFT SHREWSBURY, SHROPSHIRE UNTIL THREE DAYS BEFORE HE WAS KILLED AT ANZIO. I HAVE BEEN READING THROUGH THE DIARY WHICH IS VERY HARD GOING SINCE HE ONLY HAD A SMALL SPACE TO WRITE AND COULD ONLY WRITE IN PENCIL. HE MADE ENTRIES EVERY DAY ABOUT THE SHIP THEY SAILED ON, WHAT THEY DID, WHAT THEY ATE AND WHAT THEY SAW AND EVERY DAY HE TOLD HIS PARENTS GOODNIGHT. I HAVEN'T FINISHED READING THE DIARY YET AS THE WRITING IS SMALL AND SOME OF THE PAGES ARE SMUDGED, BUT IT IS A POIGNANT STORY OF LIFE BEFORE DEATH AND A SPECIAL ONE SINCE I AM MENTIONED IN IT.
