Battle to return German hoard of war memories

IN THE early part of the Second World War, a squaddie sent to fight the
Germans in France sat down with a pencil to write in a notebook of two
extraordinary events, occurring within days of each other, which changed his
life.
Writing in what became his personal war diary, covering from September 1939
to January 1942, the young private from the Royal Army Service Corps
recalled
the moment he fell in love with a "nice-looking" French girl, and then had
his first brush with the enemy when the lorry in which he was travelling was
strafed with machine gunfire. "Am I scared," he wrote.
