Lest We Forget


Today was a gentle reminder of how swiftly time is passing and we are losing generations of stories, too frequently untold.

Kirk Du Guid has preserved twenty-five veteran's stories in his newest book, Soldiers' Stories. Ordinary men and women who answered the call are telling - for the first time in some cases - extraordinarily modest stories.

Today the author visited The Neat Little Bookshop, signing books and listening to folks reminiscing about their own families' wartime experiences.
