Everywhere! But at home

The stories in this book are about young men fighting a war. It tells how they fought, played, cried and how they made friends for life.

Young men from all walks of life that went to war knowing that they could die at any time, but they went anyway and as the Bible says in (Psalm 23 they walked into the Valley of death.)

They went into a war as boys and came back men. I was privileged to have served with many of these brave young men, and even though we are no longer young men, we are older men with stories to tell and I thank them for their stories.

These are Recollections of young men who went to war. A collection of short stories and photos of what they went through, sad and sometimes funny. Treasured memories passed on to me by former Sappers from all over the world. The reader will be taken back to a long forgotten war in a long forgotten country however, former Rhodesian Corps of Engineers Sappers will be taken back to times forgotten by many but not by those who served in the Corps.
