This book is amazing as it provides a unique insight into how the parishioners managed to cope during the war years. It's evident that the author dedicated countless hours to meticulously comb through Hugh Creeks' extensive collection of notes and clippings in order to select the most valuable pieces of information to include in this publication.
Throughout the book, there are moments of utmost seriousness, particularly when considering that the Germans dropped canister bombs just a few miles away from the village. However, there are also lighthearted and humorous anecdotes about the Home Guard that add a touch of levity to the narrative.
I am eagerly anticipating the release of the author's fourth book, as his writing style and ability to capture the essence of historical events is truly remarkable
