Angus Young

If you like WW2 books I recommend "With the Old Breed" by Eugene Sledge. He wrote it while fighting in the pacific. A very honest perspective of the fighting that went on.

Scotfree, just finished "with the old breed", excellent read but grim stuff, away to start Zero Six Bravo (Nae Bravo Two Zero) about the gulf war, any other suggestions you have would be appreciated.

I read a book a year or so, about Alistair Urquhart, who was interned in a Japanese prisoner of war camp.

I was saddened to see that he past away at the age of 97.

He joined the Gordon Highlanders in Aberdeen at the start of the WW2. The experiences he went through were just shocking.He was only 10 miles away from Nagasaki when they dropped the bomb......

 

It's well worth a read. It's called " The forgotten Highlander"

Just read this book over the Christmas period, well worth reading and shocking the treatment that these guys went through, the author still couldn't eat properly to the day he died due to the miniscule rations of rice they were given to eat.

Understandable how a lot of the guys that survived from the far east could never forgive the Japanese for the way they were treated.

Got an interest in all things WW2, anybody got any other good recommendations.

Surprised nobodies started a thread on this yet, is anybody going to be watching?

Anderson or Wright for me or anybody apart from the Dutch window licker.
