One man's memoir of World War II, which took him from the Blitz to the jungles of Burma, to the devastation of Hiroshima.

'I consider myself lucky to have survived the global carnage still myself - a reluctant soldier who had to go to war, who only ever wanted peace for everyone.' --Brian Hennessy

Brian immigrated to New Zealand after the war and lived there until his death aged ninety-two, but he never forgot his extraordinary war adventures.

Born in Germany to English parents, he came from a family that served in the army. He was seventeen years old and living in London when war broke out, and he experienced the Blitz first-hand. Brian joined the British Army and became the youngest armament artificer. What followed was a true adventure story, as Brian journeyed via South Africa to India and the remote jungles of Burma. Danger was always present, and his narrative is sometimes humorous, at other times poignant. At the end of the war, he went to Japan and saw first-hand the devastation at Hiroshima.

This is his story, a sweeping journey through the landscape of war and far more fascinating and exciting than any fiction.

About the Author

After the war, Brian Hennessy returned home to England, where he married, had three children and opened his own repair business. In 1952, he immigrated to New Zealand with his family, and he served in the New Zealand Army until 1964. He and his wife ran a dairy farm for a number of years, after which he owned a repair shop on Queen St in Auckland. In 1976, he invented a system of grading meat, and founded Hennessy Grading Systems Limited. This is now the preferred system for grading meat in over fifty countries worldwide, including twenty-one EU member states. Hennessy grading probes are manufactured in New Zealand and supported by service centres around the world, which are managed by Sarah Hunter. Brian died in November 2014, aged ninety-two.

Brian was a very caring man, a genius in his field. He would help anybody - friend or foe - as long as he and his men were safe from the war he disliked so much.
