Winston Churchill may or may not have said ‘History is written by the victors’, but it is a true saying nevertheless. It is also true that history is often written by generals and commanders or, if not by them, then after the event by scholars and academics basing their work on the authority of those aforementioned military giants.
Far less common is the memoir of the ordinary man who, unaware of the big picture as perceived by those in command, often had little idea of where he was, where he was going and what he was expected to do when he got there.
Which brings us to my father. Now, he didn’t play a crucial role in some decisive battle, neither did he rescue fallen comrades under withering enemy fire. He was just an ordinary man who, like myriads of other ordinary men, joined the armed forces in 1940 to risk his life in defending his country and his way of life against those who would take those precious things from him and those he loved – his friends and family.
So father joined the RAF Regiment and was posted to various places in India, from the Khyber Pass to the Burmese border, and from Bombay to Assam, eventually ending up in Imphal, from where he was invalided home at a time when the outpost was sixty miles behind Japanese lines.
But most fathers are heroes to their children and, after hearing my Dad’s fascinating war stories for many years, I eventually persuaded him to dictate what he could remember (which was considerable at the time) onto tape from which medium I laboriously wrote it out, as much for the rest of the family as for him. So now here it is, quite literally in father’s own words as much as possible (hence I have used the old spelling of Indian place names), and with some of his old photographs, a record of an ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances – my Dad, my hero.
