burlington Posted 19 July , 2004 Share Posted 19 July , 2004 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? Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 23 July , 2004 Share Posted 23 July , 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
