This book is the journey of one of New Zealand's last recruits to leave for service overseas as WW2 was nearing its end.
Uniquely presented are the letters Len sent home with notes from his personal diary and photos from his 35mm camera. With the digital enhancement used, these photos have really come alive to a new generation. Also included are a few letters from New Zealand to Len describing what was happening back home. Philip, Len's son-in-law, has created 28 humorous caricatures of Len, depicting various situations he encountered on his trip. While Len writes to his family he is challenged with strong restrictions on what he was able to say about the army movements etc, never-the-less this is a snapshot of war history and travel from a down to earth kiwi perspective. We hope this book is enjoyed by all who get to read it.
