Untitled Autobiography

Pan/Macmillan

"The Tome of Seus" is an intriguing work of Celtic fiction, composed of eight largely discernable allegorical threads. These inner stories all relate to real-world deeds of humanity, good and bad, great and small, and many of the associated characters are readily identifiable.While the religious allegory stretches back to biblical times, the political timeline spans just sixty-four years. The reader may rise to the challenge of decoding these allegories, or embrace the simple tale, but the convergence of the timelines at a precise and infamous date will be impossible to miss, and in the final pages the true message becomes abundantly clear.It may interest some that the eight allegories are each composed of eight sections, and these sixty-four parable-like stories are interwoven into a single thread; a similar structure to the "I Ching".The index added to this US version doubles as a glossary to assist the reader.Originally published on: 08. 08. 08.

It took part in the Normandy campaign after D-Day. On 7/8th August the battalion’s Captain David Jamieson of D Company was awarded the Victoria Cross for his heroic leadership in beating off enemy night attacks. Due to an acute shortage of infantrymen, the battalion was disbanded in late August and its men replaced losses in other British divisions of the 21st Army Group, who had suffered heavy losses in Normandy.
