Remembered Today:

Giles E M Eyre

I am reading Eyre's Somme Harvest.

The 2 Forwards in the reprinted version are very short on hard biographical information apart from his war service.

Who really was he?

Very good question; no-one really knows much, except he was taken prisoner.

I have a good friend who met him on the ferry coming back from the Somme in July 1966; and found him a difficult man to get anything out of!

I am not surprised given what he had been through.

Still, it is strange that nothing is known apart from what is in the Forwards.
