Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

When archaeologist John Henry Phillips volunteered with a charity
that took D-Day veterans back to Normandy, due to an administrative
error he found himself without a hotel room and reliant on the
generosity of one of the veterans who had a spare bed. That veteran
was Patrick Thomas - and it was an encounter that would change both
their lives forever. Patrick's landing craft, LCH 185, had led the
first wave into Sword Beach on D-Day, and stayed off Normandy until
the 25th June when an acoustic mine sent it to the seabed along
with most of the crew. His story transfixed John, and the resulting
search for the shipwreck was to consume him. Jumping back and
forwards in time, between vivid descriptions of the final days on
board LCH 185 and John's thrilling search to find the shipwreck,
The Search is an emotional story of a devastating time in history,
an unlikely, life-changing friendship and a quest to honour a
wartime home and family lost over seventy-five years ago.
