ABOUT
In this personal account of a New Zealand soldier in World War II, John Blythe tells of his war years, from cipher officer in New Zealand, to gunnery units in North Africa and Italy.
John Blythe's war began from Cipher Officer in the Prime Minister's Department to infantryman and radio operator with gunnery units in North Africa and Italy. This remarkable personal account of the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force's campaigns vividly conveys the experiences of the ordinary soldier - boredom and frustration interspersed with the tensions and terrors of combat, and fatigue, disillusionment and despair. A different look at the war from an Antipodean angle.
Includes monochrome images.
