Introduction:

When I was originally going to write the introduction for this book, I was going to simply reference War from Wikipedia and discuss it (as Wikipedia says) as a organized and often prolonged conflict between political communities and then explain it within the context of what Nick and myself have wrote.

However, as the research for the pieces contained within these books, it became what we were talking about began to start a totally different meaning. Certainly in my case, this happened upon the discovery of a Uncle which I didn’t really know about before who got killed in the Second World War literally leading his men into the gates of the machine guns like a repeat of the charge of the light brigade except only almost 100 years later.

I of course never knew my him only knowing him through my own father’s memories of him which resulted in the piece ‘Tracing Planes’ here as a short tribute to him. ‘Tracing Planes’ came out from my father’s memories thinking he was a fighter pilot rather than a soldier. My father was only 8 when he was killed and can only vaguely remember him
