See post 47 Craig....Then to rub salt in the wound, look at the date I really should read my threads more closely and I think you constantly just look for Forgotten Voices releases!
I have the odd search now and then on Amazon mate I was wondering the other day about possibilities for new titles: Forgotten Voices of the Airborne. Forgotten Voices of Italy Forgotten Voices of Africa Forgotten Voices of the Royal Navy Anymore for Anymore?
Call me a snob but it's not the same though when they are on the book shelf. Maybe a Forgotten Voices of the Fleet Air Arm would be interesting.
Thought I'd just put a post down with regards to 'Forgotten voices of Burma' I have been researching my G.Grandfathers award of a DCM during the 2nd Chindit campaign. I have been lucky in my research to have found surviving siblings of the men who were killed during the events of his award. When looking at the IWM website I found that there was an audio of a soldier who was part of the 2nd Leceisters, I arranaged to go and listen to the tape and hear his recollections of his time and journey through Burma. Well I must say that listening to his story certainly brought a lump to my throat as it gave me an idea of my G.Grandfathers time with him (Thomas Joseph Chandler). It was also a very surreal experience to hear his name being mentioned in his recollections!!! I came out of the museum feeling like I'd found out so much more about the 2nd Leicesters and their journey through Burma. A couple of days past and my curiosity got the better of me and I started to think about trying to trace Private Arthur Baker. Well blow me down with a feather within a few hours I was on the phone speaking to a man who was with my Thomas Joseph Chandler on that fateful day. When I first heard his voice, I must admit I was speechless and had to take stock and composed myself. We had a long chat about the Chindits and the information he has given me has been invaluable and I coudl have listened to him for hours and hours. I will be keeping in contact with him and hopefully get to hear more about his life. So from knowing absolutely nothing about my G.Grandfather I have managed to piece together some of his life some 60+ years ago and his life in the army. From the IWM making an audio recording of his recollections it has shown how important these resources are. It also confirm that all the knowledge we have as individuals can help others build a picture of past events and complete a story for others who are researching the past whether it be for personal or commercial reasons. This allows us all to have the most important thought of all.......... 'We shall remember them'
Bout time...Now all we need is ATB to do one to go with it ! Forgotten Voices Desert Victory: Amazon.co.uk: Julian Thompson, Imperial War Museum: Books
