Two World Wars, two generations, father and son from Hertfordshire: How could the eighteen-year-old lad guess in September 1939 that his childhood antics would later save his life in battle, only to face capture, concealment and successful escape to freedom through enemy territory?
Love, Duty and Escape: Italy 1943 tells the untold, true story of Captain Reginald Edward Selby, son of Edward Selby, DCM. This journey of rediscovery begins when stored documents are unexpectedly handed to Reg’s granddaughter at his funeral.
An entertaining read, this sensitive account will charm military enthusiasts and adventure-romantics alike.
