In 1939 conscription was for 21 years or over, 18 years was not until 1942. By that time we knew that U-boats was no more a great threat, most were at the bottom of the sea. So confident were we that a brewery in Cov showed a Gallery in Cov White Lion pub, (half demolished) of its future.

We awaited Hitler's new weapons, and they came!

Now a guy named Damien Lewis wrote a number of books on the second war, thousands bought them. He made out the SAS was the beginning of the war, showed picture of ROMMEL--1940 who left the Desert Defeated for good on the ninth of March 1942. He knew nothing of what I had sent you, was obsessed by one man, knew little of the war or the SOE, so deceived thousands of the true history. THOUSANDS OF COVENTRY KIDS DIED in the first two years, many good friends of mine, and this guy makes a fortune from telling rubbish.

This book is solely based on my own experience of the Second World War and the soldiers I knew. Soldiers of the SOE, all over 21 or older, did not come into force until October 1942, as boys in their twenties had often read books of daring — Revolt in the Desert, Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence, Sabotage Behind Enemy Lines, and stories of stealing away in the night.

Many young boys wanted to take part in such adventures and only needed the training for it. They were honest, straightforward soldiers who wanted to stop the bombings and killing of their people. If they could shorten this war, they would.

Hope it goes well for you Blitzkid :thumbsup:

I have several books on Amazon; you have to actively manage and promote them to make even modest royalties.

Dutchman, in the book 'The Hawkesbury Canal' my editor added it was fiction, that is to be ignored, every word was true. Most people know that from Sutton Stop to canal wharf London it was 77 miles following the contours of the land. My parents at sometime in their young life in the early twentieth century both walked it behind a towing horse.

Dutchman I am 99 years of age today, can you believe, and I remember when I was a boy clearer than things of today!

I think my brain is like a bucket it filled up with things of yesteryear and can't remember things of yesterday!

I do hope you enjoy my books, and you may ask anything you want?

Eight years ago I had covid so Brighton sent me to Haywards Heath (out cold) but at 91 they placed me in a church room and the vicar was reading me the last rites when I came too! I said "I can see the trees through the window". He gathered his books and vanished so they took me back in to a ward in the hospital and from there back home. Today I still remember my boyhood clearly. When they built the sewage near Gosford Green they found seven feet below was a roman road the same width as chariots. In 192 they built the first dog-track in London the same size as the Roman chariot track in the Colosseum.
