Jackie Keefe has edited and published her father's memoirs and some of his poems. This a lovely book to read and is available from Amazon now.
John V. Lowman grew up in 1930's London and served in the Royal Fleet Air Arm, the Army, and the Army Commandos. He began writing poetry in 1946. The book is the memoir of a London lad conscripted in 1943 aged 18 with a mischievous zest for life that led him on to became one of Winston Churchill's Army Commandos. A highly personal account of serving in the forces during World War 2, preceded by his account of his childhood in a lower working class family in the 1930's.

God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.
