The book contains poems written by my Grandfather George Denison
during his life in Yorkshire before World War II, during WWII,
after WWII and immigrating to Australia. There are also some poems
by my Great-Grandfather James William Denison to his son that were
amongst the collection of old note pads and loose notes yellow with
age. The poems are regional to Yorkshire (and parts of the UK) and
specific, speaking of old caves in the Dales to beautiful green
glades. They are also romantic at times and family sensitive
speaking of his love for his wife and two sons. Many of his
treasured memories of England are in these poems. There are memoirs
of WWII as a Royal Engineer and friendships developed with Canadian
allies who came to help. He never spoke of the war when it was over
like many others because of friends he lost and I believe he vented
his memories in his poetry. It was a great find as my wise old
Grandmother kept all his words, which came to my possession in
2003. I believed in rewriting these poems (probably because I am a
biased grandson) mainly because of what I learnt from his words
values and wisdom speaking from a generation long gone. I believe
that these values and ideals should not be forgotten and that we
all could benefit from reading an old Yorkshire mans wisdom and
maybe reapply some old school values to our everyday lives.
