Butterflies in a snowstorm: Photographs from a past life

This is the story of how a chance meeting with a stranger many years ago set the author on a quest to discover, and find, a photograph of who he was in a past life and, in the process, make sense of the nightmares he used to have when he was a child and still occasionally does today. May 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the death of the young man whose photograph features in this book. He was a soldier of the First World War, a machine gunner who was severely injured fighting in the Battle of Arras and, ten days later, died of his wounds on his twenty first birthday. The book is a simple story, simply told which is both interesting and thought provoking.
