They came home as men - often misunderstood and labelled "war neurotics".
Jack Bewes shows the human face of this war through his diaries, his logbooks and his social anecdotes, his humour, through newspaper clippings and photos.
His daughter Lyn McGettigan honours and commemorates his service in this compilation of Jack's war-time papers.
