The following pages give an account of a twenty year search to
uncover the mystery that had surrounded grandfather for the
entirety of his life that he had spent living in the United
Kingdom. All that was ever known of him were the basic facts that
he was Serbian by nationality (although I was later to discover
that he in fact lived in Bosnia) and that he was never to return to
his native homeland again. The book is like that of a split
personality, two sides that would never see the other until the
final chapters were acknowledged, recorded and written together. It
describes my own early recollections of the man and the time I
would spend in his presence throughout childhood and teenage years
until his death in 1988. The other persona tells of the other side
that was left behind in Bosnia. The happiness, ever wandering, the
horrors and finally, as the first one is uncovered, the
understanding and joining together of both as finally one. The
search would be a relentless task searching for a man that had no
records of his existence prior to his displacement in 1946.
Searching a country whose own bloodlust and carnage has seen whole
generations of people and records of them disappear forever. A
country whose varied people are so secretive in their own right and
often hide their own pasts with a passion.
