A young man moved to Wellington from Blenheim in the late 1930s to work and further his sporting career. As he nears his goal war breaks out in Europe and in mid-1940 he enlists. These are the complete set of letters home over the first year of his overseas experience describing his surroundings as the world and the war unfold for him. The letters are accompanied by over one hundred black & white photos with many never-before-seen images. The relaxed and humerous writing style of the writer makes for an enjoyable and interesting read. The reader is drawn in by experiencing everything as it is happening including the boredom, the culture shock, the sport and the sand. A window into world war two and NZ social history through the eyes of a New Zealand soldier.
