The Letters - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Letters tell the story of the correspondence between a father and his first-born son during one of the most difficult times of our history, a 16 year old Aubrey Garrett joined the Royal Artillery in 1936 as the clouds of war spread across Europe for the second time in just over a generation. Aubrey’s father Fred, who was a sufferer of PTSD from the first war and fearful of what was coming, kept his own council in public but spent his private time in despair. The story behind each letter explains what was happening with the war and the upheaval on the home front while he was away. Aubrey’s journey took him from the Cliffs above Dover during the Battle of Britain to Egypt and finally the Greek island of Crete where he was killed on the first day of the German invasion on 20th May 1941. The author follows his uncles’ journey almost 80 years later and presents his story in this book for posterity.
