A Tangled Blog

This week I happened upon a military writer who  has written many books about the Canadian experiences in WWI and WWII.  First off, I'm reading "Brave Battalion,"  by Mark Zuehlke and taking notes for my Nan stories.  Then I plan on eventually reading almost all of his other other military books to give me inspiration and information for TTTT.

I am highlighting and note-taking like crazy on this thing.  I have dates of departure, time spent at Valcartier, time spent at Salisbury Plain, and other facts that will come in very handy, especially in letters from Jerry and Jem to Nan and Co.

I have a feeling that once I finally finish Nan's stories, I'll have to rewrite my others some time too.

I watched this wonderful old movie this weekend, bit by bit, when Bart was upstairs grading papers and such.  I just love it so much for it's portrayal of how things were in the early days of WWII.  Then I remembered that I own a very old copy of the book.  The book is of course very different than the movie.  It starts much earlier.

Also, since I sort of have a phobia of old books, (they're nice to decorate with, but I like new books with only my germs LOL) I found it online to read.  It's such a quick read and so short, that I want to finish it before I progress any more with TTTT.  It shouldn't take me too long.
