Army Bomb Disposal
July 2018
Time stood still in a muddy Hole by Pat Strickson
As soon as I started to read this book I found it impossible to put down !
John Hannaford I had the great privilege to have known for over 20 years , his death still saddens me.
I was so pleased that Pat decided to pop into her local charity shop on a wet rainy day and fell in love with a painting by John , from there she contacted the family and found out that John was a WW2 Bomb Disposal Officer , this book contains a wealth of information about Captain John Hannaford and I have no hesitation is reccomending it.
