Back from Hell

Laurie Woods

The adrenaline that pumps through the veins of men flying Lancaster bombers over Germany while ack-ack explodes around them is only matched by the gut-wrenching nervousness in their stomach. “Will I be the next statistic?”

Shortly after the war the memories keep flooding back through nightmares that are distorted from the reality but even more frightening.

You will live the reality of Laurie’s war and the struggles with the acceptance by the Australian community of a man who defended Australia from Europe. In addition you will read of a man, like many others, married too quickly prior to World War II and came home to difficult relationships.

Will this war hero find peace?
