Set against a background ranging from the quiet English countryside to the bustling city metropolis, this is an account of life for a young boy during the 1930's through to the dark days of the London blitz and the periods spent as an evacuee in the West Country and Yorkshire. Following the end of WW2, the narrative progresses through his final years at technical college, an engineering apprenticeship and ultimately as a National Serviceman with the army.
