In 2017, a cache of WW2 letters opened a window to the lives of the author's gran, great-gran and their two sons who were close in age. The elder, Uncle "Cully", headed off as a pilot and was soon followed into the RNZAF by his nephew, Terry Dixon. This book contains the letters home of a young Terry Dixon. His illustrative writing describes his journey and experiences from New Zealand to Canada, the UK and Northern Africa. The author has included some of the family history and photos to give context to the letters.
Tere Davies is the Niece of Terry Dixon, and the great-niece of Duncan Mc Arthur. She is the second daughter born to Desmond Simons at Te Kopuru, Northwest of Dargaville. Tere currently lives in Orewa, Auckland, New Zealand, has two adult children and three grandchildren.
