A true story of the Second World War
He was twenty-three years old, newly married, with a baby on the way when he went into combat.
For nearly fifty years, Jack Wilson said almost nothing about the war. Then his son asked, and the letters came to light. This is the story they tell.
★ A son. A soldier. A story of courage.
