Such is War Part 2 – El Alamein Campaign

Cecil Anderson

Edited by Joscelyn Lobegeiger and Jeanie Cox

Cecil Anderson’s highly evocative word pictures paint a vivid picture of all that he experienced and witnessed during three gruelling years at war in the Middle East during World War II.
Meticulously kept, carefully guarded and kept safe from the censor’s eyes it is apparent that these remarkable diaries served as a ‘confidante’ somewhere for Anderson to pour out his feelings and fears. His sensitive, at times almost poetic, writings show a thoughtful, insightful soldier.
