D-day Stories

The fascinating story of Peter Jones, born on Merseyside in 1926; fatherless at the age of one; the youngest of many siblings growing up in the poverty stricken years of the Depression. His formative childhood years portray a life of heartfelt deprivation, warmth and humour. Aged 14 at the outbreak of World War II, he witnesses the relentless blitz on Merseyside with miles of dockland transformed into an inferno of fires reflecting blood red on the river. Joining the Nay at 17; taking part in the Normandy landings on D-Day, transporting troops, tanks, wounded and prisoners of war. After the war, marriage ups an downs; labouring jobs; deck-hand to 'skipper' over 20 plus years working on the ferry boats. His unique recollections of events from collisions in fog to suicides and The Quarrymen (Beatles) playing aboard the Royal Iris. Throughout the book Peter's 'Scouse' sense of humour prevails.

Something I made in my spare time while listening to a song.

The priceless experience of the soldiers during D-Day in Normandy.

A short piece I wrote on my trip back home from France where I had visited the Normandy landing sites of D-Day.

BRITAIN AT WAR 1939 to 1945 What was life like during the war? gives a short 33,500 word insight into life in wartime Britain told from the perspective of people who actually experienced it; with an overview of the major campaigns, enlivened by quotations from Churchill's speeches. How did a family with a small child survive the air raids and rationing? Life in Britain was harsh, full of drama and the danger of impending death. 'If a bomb has your name on it, you are dead; if not it will miss you.' The reader may be surprised at how close the Allies came to disaster. The book's entertaining insights add interest and will evoke memories for people who lived in those times. A teenager wrote: 'This book is just amazing. It's about how a small child in Britain with a family went through WWII. It also mentions some famous speeches that were done by Winston Churchill himself. This book, to me, really brought great insight on what WWII was about and how harsh the conditions were.' For more information go to This is a link
