'From School to Landing Craft' describes the period 1939 to 1947
for one man, age 17 at the outbreak of war, from two perspectives.
First, there is a factual account of his time in the Royal Navy
Volunteer Reserve (RNVR). Secondly, there is an account based on
extracts of letters between him, his family and friends. These
letters illuminate his transition from a comfortable middle class
upbringing in the London suburbs and at boarding school to the
deprivations and uncertainties of war. They provide a first hand
account, sometimes filtered by the naval censor, of family and
friends dealing with life-threatening circumstances. The
expectations and fears of anxious parents stand juxtaposed with
mundane 'everyday life' at home and in contrast to the resilient
adaptability of youth.
