In 1933, at the age of 15, George Dunn left the small Welsh mining
village of Blaina for St Albans in Hertfordshire as part of the
government's Labour Exchange Scheme. After marrying a local girl,
he was conscripted into the Royal Engineers during the Second World
War, and was part of the Dunkirk Evacuation in 1940. Now aged 92,
he has seen three generations of his family grow up in
Hertfordshire. This is the story of his life - from Wales to St
Albans to active service and home again to Hertfordshire - with
reflections on how life in the twentieth- and twenty-first century
has changed. In this poignant book, the author shares vivid
memories of his life in Hertfordshire and his wartime experiences.
From touching recollections of enjoyable days spent with loved ones
to the dark moments of falling bombs, this is an honest account of
one man's life. Together with rare images, this book is a personal
and moving story.
