About dwalser

My father was born in 1896 and joined up at the start of the 1st WW. He fought in the trenches until the battle of the Somme after which he transferred to the RFC and became a pilot. In the trenches he wrote to his father in New York and I have put his letters on my website. I have included accounts of his life, my mother's and grandparent's as well as my own. Also there are a number of my short stories and works for piano (the scores and recordings by an excellent pianist) that have not been published.
