Picture
Seventy years ago, World War II uprooted my father, Norman Buckle,
from a coal mining village in South Yorkshire
and transported him thousands of miles to Sierra Leone in West Africa
and later to a tropical island in the Pacific.

"I Think I Prefer the Tinned Variety"
presents the diary extracts Norman wrote
when stationed at naval shore-bases in
Freetown, Sierra Leone;
Sidney, Australia;
and Ponam in the Admiralty Islands.

My own fascination with family history
has lead me to research the background to the diary
which is included as annotations to the text.
​

The book is not an account of battles and action:
it describes some of Norman's experiences
far away from home and
his everyday life as a shore-based radio mechanic during WW2.
