Book Synopsis He Who Would Valiant Be by : Jack Taylor
Download or read book He Who Would Valiant Be written by Jack Taylor and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two generations of one family, two of whom fight in World War 1 at The Dardanelles and The Somme; two are World War II bomber crew, one of whom was killed when his Stirling went down in the English Channel after a raid on Turin in 1942 and his pilot won the VC; another was a soldier in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders captured at Calais in 1940 only to escape in the last few months of the war, and one was a nursing sister captured by the Japanese in Singapore in 1942. She survived brutal PoW imprisonment, then met and married a Polish bomber pilot at a medal presentation in Buckingham Palace in 1946. The seventh was Sir Billy Snedden who left school at 15 without even a leaving certificate, joined the RAAF in 1945 too late to fly but went on to study law, became a barrister and a prominent politician who led the Australian opposition to the 1972 election, losing and failing to become prime minister by the narrowest of margins. Of the seven, three died in battle or of their war wounds, three survived to lead normal family lives and Snedden went on to political success and fame only to die in bed with a lover at the age of 61. All characters lived fought and died as described in this book.
Book Synopsis He Who Would Valiant Be by : Terry Lewin
Download or read book He Who Would Valiant Be written by Terry Lewin and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Admiral of the Fleet Lord Lewin was the last Military leader of Great Britain to serve throughout the entire duration of WW2. A career that culminated in his role as head of the British Armed Forces and a seat in the victorious Cabinet of Prime Minister Thatcher that restored British Sovereignty over the Falkland Islands. This important book is the very first step on that career path. Since the time of Nelson Midshipmen in the Royal Navy were obliged to keep a Journal, a record of the life, events and actions of the ship in which they served. Terry Lewin was posted as a 19-years old to HMS Valiant, a Jutland-era battleship in December 1939. This book faithfully reproduces his hand-written record of the first year of the War seen from a ship at sea. All Midshipmen kept a journal, not all Midshipmen went on to influence the development of the modern Navy to the extent achieved by Terry Lewin. This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in WW2, and life in the Royal Navy.

Download or read book Valiant Be written by Heather Mallett and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-03-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valiant Be is a remarkable memoir of pain and resilience, and a gripping history of a family that is at once dysfunctional and deeply loving. Heather’s earliest memories revolved around her parents’ purchase and refurbishment of a gristmill beside the Don River, on the outskirts of Toronto. As World War 2 raged, so did tensions at home; Heather’s father was a passionate artist with a mercurial temper, and her mother was a writer who wrote and published a book about their marriage. Although Heather’s young life was chaotic, she learned resourcefulness from her parents, and never doubted their care. Then, at the age of four, Heather experienced a deeply traumatic incident that would change her forever and lead her to spend fifteen years in therapy for complex post-traumatic stress disorder. Still, her courage never wavered. Told through a series of vignettes, this vibrant collection of stories follows the author through childhood, university, marriage, mothering, teaching, and working as a calligrapher. Tender, revelatory, and always full of humour, this book is both a valuable time capsule and a fascinating look at how drastically the world can change in a single lifetime.

Book Synopsis The Falklands War by : Gordon Ramsey
Download or read book The Falklands War written by Gordon Ramsey and published by After the Battle. This book was released on 2009-03-30 with total page 1786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1982, Argentina rashly gambled that a full-scale invasion of the Falkland Islands — ownership of which had been disputed with Great Britain for over a century — would put an end to years of political wrangling. However Britain’s response was to immediately dispatch a task force to recover the islands, by force if necessary. The ‘conflict’ which followed (a formal declaration of war was never given) lasted ten weeks from Argentine invasion to British liberation, the white heat of battle using 20th century technology contrasting with bitter hand-to-hand bayonet fighting in inhospitable conditions. Eyewitness accounts by the participants of both sides, and islanders, leave us in no doubt as to the ferocity of the combat on land, sea, and in the air. Comparison photography in color of all the battlefields, the crash sites of the aircraft shot down, the relics and the remains, together with portraits of those who lost their lives and the battlefield memorials, serve as a graphic testimony to their endeavors, 25 years after the battle. A Roll of Honour lists the casualties of both sides and, for the first time, the graves of all the British fallen — both on the islands and in the United Kingdom — have been visited and photographed as a lasting record of all those who made the supreme sacrifice.
Download or read book Penny Black written by Laurence Carter and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-02-18 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is England in the late 50's, and Penny is in her last year at school. She works hard, her teachers like her, and they have hopes she will go to Cambridge. However, no one in her family has been to university before and her father thinks it will only give her unrealistic fantasies. He needn't have worried: Penny is not destined to go to Cambridge. She makes the mistake of falling in love. At first she thinks she and Richard can go together. That won't happen either. Every step of her way Penny is fighting to stay on course, and at every step her gentle nature suffers shattering blows. Love almost costs her her sanity. Throughout this book which opens up the world of the late fifties and early sixties, we see how society is changing, how the old certainties are giving way, and we see the sacrifices Penny makes to achieve her dream. 'Penny Black' is the second part of 'The Brighton Trilogy'.
