"Because of my age, my friends frequently showed an interest in my wartime experiences. Sources are diminishing! I prepared a talk about my experiences for their entertainment, it was "well received" so I decided to try for print. Obviously many books in this category exist ranging from "The Diary of Anne Frank" to the wondrous escape stories. I was an ordinary schoolboy and I know of no other account in this category. Schoolboy life warrants exposure. It was certainly not dull, was often humorous and was occasionally very dangerous. I was thus led in to a somewhat mismatched autobiography. I felt justified because after the war I was carefully and hopefully trained to succeed in a fast declining industry, supported only by the phantasm of the "Cold War". This, in an unusual way led me to emigrate twice and tempted me into describing the resulting travels."
