This is a journal spanning from October 30, 1942 to October 29th 1945 through which the author recounts his days abroad serving in the U.S. Army during WWII. Kennedy begins his memoir by admitting to a reluctance toward fighting in the war before bringing readers down a path fraught with detailed descriptions of life aboard a warship and in various countries around the world. Whether describing the war-littered desert streets of Tobruk, Africa, the grandeur of Rome, or the breathtaking sight of Capri, Italy, the author places readers deep into his penetrating remembrances. Kennedy's forthright honesty and unique experiences will give readers insight into the harsh realities of being away from home – and a new wife – for three years, as well as an insight into the bonds of friendship and camaraderie that result from soldiers serving together. The pictures not only add a personal touch to an already moving memoir, but help readers match faces with the colorful characters about whom Kennedy writes.

Charles Delverts diary records his career as a front-line officer in the French army fighting the Germans during the First World War. It is one of the classic accounts of the war in French or indeed in any other language, and it has not been translated into English before. In precise, graphic detail he sets down his wartime experiences and those of his men. He describes the relentless emotional and physical strain of active service and the extraordinary courage and endurance required in battle. His account is essential reading for anyone who is keen to gain a direct insight into the Great War from the French soldier's point of view, and it bears comparison with the best-known English and German memoirs and journals of the Great War.

This is the story of Eighth Air Force bombing missions leaving England to blast targets in Hitler's Third Reich in 1944–45. Each clear day, the skies filled with hundreds of B17 Flying Fortress bombers and their escorts crossing the English Channel toward enemy targets protected by anti-aircraft batteries and German fighters waiting to attack the heavy bombers. The skies over the target were filled with black flak appearing to be so thick you could walk on it! The exploding shells filled the space with flying chunks of iron as bombers started their bomb run on the target. We often could hear the flak pelting our plance like a "buckshot" on a tin roof. This flak would often strike a vital part of the plane or wound a member of the crew! Our waist gunner was wounded on our tenth mission!Some missions we could count hundreds of holes in our plane after we landed safely in England! Bombers receiving a direct hit were blown out of the sky and another ten man aircrew was lost. Planes severely damaged had to drop out of formation and face enemy fighters alone unless some of our P-51 or P-47 escort fighters protected them. Bombers disabled or on fire had no choice but to order the crews to bail out. Airmen who survived the parachute jump were captured and placed into German prisoner of war camps (POW). They were classified as "missing in action". Forty-eight photos, some sixty years old are included in this 350 page book to illustrate the story of the author's childhood in the Great Depression through the great air war of World War II. A description of each mission from a sixty year old diary is included. I think you will enjoy the story of a teenage Radio-Gunner's experiences in the Mighty Eighth Air Force.

During that war, she received the Order of Leopold for work under fire in Belgium. On her way to provide medical assistance in Russia, she fell ill. Upon her return to England, she died.

These diary and lecture entries were transcribed by myself, Renea Virgo Boddington, granddaughter of Staff Sergeant Hedley Ivan George Prosser. Some place names no longer exist and due to the nature of the diaries - written in pencil - some entries are illegible. My explanatory notes are in italics to assist the reader's understanding of my grandfather's experiences. I spoke with members of the 2/3rd Machine Gun Battalion, particularly Norvyn (Blue) Stevens and Jack Thomas. Their confidence in me and guidance have been essential for me to honour my grandfather's words. Hedley's wife, Beatrice, and daughter, Roslyn, have also given me insight. Also, I have added, for greater understanding, letter excerpts from Charlie Todd, fellow soldier and later Hedley's brother in law. My grandfather gave me his diaries to record. This has been a long mission; gathering information and talking through stories and events. This is my grandfather's story - echoed by many other soldiers that fought for our country and our freedom. This is the real-life account of H. I. G. Prosser, Staff Sergeant, A Coy, 2/3rd Machine Gun Battalion, AIF, SX5757 and his time training and his service during World War 2.During his service, Staff Sergeant H. I. G. Prosser kept three diaries. He recorded daily occurrences. The first diary covers his time in Syria, before capitulation. The second diary has details of lectures he attended and notes on his battalion and other interesting facts he wanted to record. The third and final diary contains a mass of information of my grandfather's time as a Prisoner of War and, is in fact, the smallest diary in size. There was a great danger in keeping a diary and recording events - a summary offence - and if the diary was discovered he would have been executed. Staff Sergeant H. I. G. Prosser kept the third diary in a tin of peanut shells. In fact, he cleverly had his diary in the tin next to his other possessions, neatly lined up and in clear view. The Japanese liked neatness and never looked further.
