I was born in 1946, and have always had an interest in the War through my Fathers' stories of his time as a Sapper, and my Mother living in Eastbourne through the War and bombing.
My Mother recently died, and among her documents I found my fathers' memoirs. These are written as an ordinary soldier of 19 at the outbreak of War, and covering 6 years of service. He fought through France and escaped at Dunkirk, followed by duty in the Far East, fighting in Burma, up to Kohima and Imphal, until he was wounded by machine gun fire near Mount Popa in April 1945.

I have re-typed my Fathers' notes from the originals, just as he wrote them, under the title 'My Fathers Story in the Sappers'
