Publisher's Synopsis
These are the memories of an ordinary Englishman (Victor Thomas Cundy) born in 1921 in Knaphill, nr. Woking, Surrey, England.
It is an unusual Social History with a wide ranging set of descriptions of the life and times from the beginning of the 20th Century, seen through the prism of a family and the surprising links and detail of that family and friends with links of the South East of England including London and the Coast in between the two Great Wars. A Social History of Middle Class England from 1918 to 1950 encompassing the lead up to and the end of the Second World war as experienced through someone's eyes who joined the R.A.F. but also spent time as a civilian during the period due to ill health. Memories of moving from the age of the horse, to the car, to the new bus companies, to the airships, to the fighters of the Second World War, the crowded trains full of soldiers, the peace of the Lake District, the bustle of the seaside. A poignant story of struggle, setbacks, successes, achievements and hope.
