The One and Sixpenny Englishman – the memoirs of my grandfather who came to the UK as a babe in arms fleeing persecution in the east. Harry fought in the British Army as a foreign national and took citizenship immediately after the first war. He made his way in the world during the 20s and 30s, and served in Civil Defense during the second war. Having turned his hand to many things in his life, he wrote this memoir in the early 70s as part of a convalescence.

My grandfather’s story is of an immigrant who made good, and of a life well lived. Published in 2014.
