A Memoir of his service by W.R.Smith , Driver , R.E. (5)

This memoir was handwritten in a small notebook by my father when he was 83 years old . As far as I know , it was from memory ,as I never saw any diaries etc. in his house . To me this seems remarkable . I typed it up (badly) about 20 years ago, and am pleased if it is of interest ,as my Dad would have been . I willl submit a couple of photos of him ,and a few other bits .

这本回忆录是我父亲在83岁时手写于一个小笔记本中的。据我所知，它完全凭记忆写成——我从未在他家中见过任何日记之类的东西。这在我看来十分了不起。大约20年前，我（笨拙地）将其录入电脑；若这份回忆录能引起大家的兴趣，我会很开心——父亲想必也会如此。我还会提交几张他的照片以及其他一些相关材料。
