Silvertown's Missing Son - Reported Missing for 15 Months (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Silvertown's Missing Son is a gripping yet heart-wrenching, true account of a 22 year old youth from London's East End, who went Missing in Action for 15 months during WW2. It starts in September 1939 at the onslaught of the 55 day bombing of Silvertown where they lived. It then recalls when the whole family was nearly wiped out by the Silvertown TNT explosion, 22 years earlier in 1917, the largest explosion ever to take place in Britain. Although WW2 forms a back-drop to the story, its essence is how families and soldiers endured whatever was thrown at them, with fortitude and humour. It is a true story of family togetherness and comradeship, returning nostalgically to a time when families and soldiers stuck together to survive.
