Title: Growing up in Sussex
Description: "[A] memoir [which] starts with a boy's journey through the early years of the 1930s - days of the rag and bone man, street lamplighters and in the background Hitler. Then life gets real - at school where cane and cricket bat rule and even more real with army call-up and training. In 1944/45 comes the crunch of combat in Operation Overlord. and after all that with his ears still ringing, comes the blessed call of demob and a taste of new delights, finding a woman daft enough to marry him before settling near his work on a farm to start life as a man."--Publisher description.
