What an amazing book! What a remarkable man! Ted is a wonderful story teller, I felt like I was there with him. I laughed, I cried and I held my breath.
This is not only a war story. It's the story of a young man, one of a generation of young men, who were thrown into something they didn't ask for and weren't prepared for. Some gave their lives for their country and some, the "lucky" ones, gave their youth, their innocence, the best years of their life for their country.
I am in awe of Ted and his generation and so very grateful to them.
An excellent book, one which will stay with me for a long time.

Enhance your purchase
Ted Cogdell from Griffithstown, south Wales was conscripted into the first (and only) peacetime militia in July 1939. What was supposed to be six months training turned into seven years of war. His adventures during Wwii are truly remarkable. He was awarded the Burma Star, the Arctic Star, the 1939-1945 Star, the Defence Medal and the 1939-45 War Medal. After the war Ted married the love of his life, Maisie. They have one daughter, five grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. This incredible memoir was written by Ted for his family. Ted is 99 years old and still lives in south Wales.

Fabulous read.
The unique story of one man's journey as a young 20 year old conscript from 'Griff'.
Starting from Pontypool, to Dover, through France, joining the battle in Norway, back to Britain then eventually journeying to the harrowing jungles of Burma.
Sometimes frightening, sometimes hilarious but always fascinating.
An eye witness account, some of which is not available anywhere else, official or otherwise!
The friendships lost and friendships made, the bonds of which are still strong today.
A book that once you've started, you won't be able to put down until you've reached the end.
