Steady As She Goes

The poignant war time memories of a WWII Navy 'medic'

Beschreibung

Eighteen-year-old Ted joined the Royal Navy in 1943 as a medic; he wanted to preserve life. WWII had been raging for four years but for Ted, it was a journey into the unknown, with the threat of death a constant companion. Yet, he didn't dwell on the dark side of life, enjoying himself as much as he could before the D-Day landings of 1944, and the liberation of Europe began. Told as a touching conversation between father and daughter in his latter years, this short story recounts his memories of that time.

Autor

After hanging up my dancing shoes and leaving music and song for another day, I became an avid family historian and have researched the branches of my own family tree extensively. Like most family trees, there are illegitimate children, numerous hasty marriages, and even money in one branch during the Georgian period, all spent and forgotten now. Some mysteries have yet to be solved, and others have been substantiated with evidence.Not knowing our distant ancestors, yet discovering snippets of information about their lives in records, newspapers and dusty archives, I love using my imagination to write about what might have happened. I am looking forward to sharing those stories with you over time.I also write non-fiction historical investigations with the Field Detectives under the name of Catherine Pincott-Allen.
