This is the true story of a humble private in the British Forces during World War, written by Samuel Alfred Jackson, and presented by his daughter, Lesley Ann Jackson-Crossingham, who also writes the introduction.
This book reveals the personal growth and the trauma of life as a soldier who was swept up in the rising ride of extremism in the Second World War. Young Sam Jackson was conscripted at age nineteen and saw some of the worst battles of World War Two, including north Africa, Italy and Tobruk. His words speak of a young man, an orphan, sent to the worst battles of the war, yet it also shows his profound sense of purpose and spirit. Sam Jackson was far from a perfect man, but he did reflect on his horrendous journey as a humble private soldier.
