註釋Bob Walklett’s story begins when he volunteered for the British armed forces in 1943 – during WW2. He served with 6th Airborne Division, and was involved in the Ardennes battle, in Belgium, later known as The Battle of the Bulge. His next assignment was Operation Varsity, on the 24th March, 1945, when 6th Airborne Division, along with the 17th American Airborne Division, made their airborne assault over the River Rhine, in West Germany. He was wounded, and became a P O W, in a German Hospital, until freed by his advancing comrades. Bob’s story also relates to his hospitalisation in the UK, and to the poems he had written, over that time. He finalises his story with the Reunions he had with his ( much older now ) wartime comrades. His poems relate to wartime leaders, and memorable battles during WW2. The combination of war service – poems – and finally his reunions, make it a compelling and interesting story.
