Up the Blue : A Kiwi Private's View of the Second World War Author: Roger Smith isbn: 9780473065317

In 1953, former 24th Battalion infantryman Roger Smith began writing about his life's great adventure: service during World War II with the Second New Zealand Division in North Africa and Italy. The book is published here after almost half a century. The book tells of things as they were for the ordinary Kiwi soldier, with chilling descriptions of the great battles in North Africa and Italy. Smith's sensitive story examines the psychological impact of war service: horror, elation, homesickness, culture shock, mateship, trust, off-duty shenanigans, laughter, fear and tears.
