Inhaltsangabe

Advance and Be Recognised: The Autobiography of A. W. Stapleton 1896 -1978 is an absorbing life story. Arthur was a young man from working class roots, who was thrown into the horrors of war. He was a machine gunner in WW1 and an Air Raid Warden in WW2. Arthur Stapleton founded Advance Electronics before retiring a wealthy man. 'Reading his words was like seeing a blood-filled horror film play out in my mind. My eyes saw the scene evolve, my mind absorbing the vision of mangled corpses hanging on wire. Bodies unrecognisable as individuals, surrounded by severed limbs, half submerged in mud. Death without dignity. 'It was not a story about a faceless soldier facing death on a daily basis - it was about my dad. I learned more about him after his death than when he was alive. I would like you to know him as well.' These words are by Marion, the author's daughter, adopted from within the family. This autobiography is an absorbing read, both for those interested in WW1 and in what it takes to succeed in business.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

I had no idea in what esteem my father was held within the electronics industry, until a book full of published obituaries was sent to me. One contained the words, "I doubt if it is a happier ship than when Stapleton was at the helm." These words remain with me. My parents were of grandparent age so I knew little of his pioneering in this capacity. He was the founder of Advance Electronics, and started his business in a poultry shed in 1922 after surviving service in the First World War. Reading his words about his time fighting for king and country was like seeing a blood filled horror film play out in my mind. Every now and then as I read his words I became choked with emotion. It was not a story about a soldier facing death on a daily basis… it was about my dad. I learned more about him after his death than when he was alive. I would like you to know him as well. - These words are written by Marion, the author's adopted daughter, from within the family.
