Web chapters

I've posted my father's memoirs on the web with the objective of gauging interest in a printed version. My father doesn't have an email address, but if you'd like comment or just make contact, you're welcome to email me at crispin@caz.ltd.uk.

Over time I am planning to add images to the pages.
