Publisher's Synopsis
Retelling life's story, ancestry and all
Losing a father young, meant standing up tall
Going to school, from the age of just six
Now living in Antwerp, the war in his midst
After two nights of bombing
The announcement was made
To leave Antwerp, only France would be safe
Destination was Roeselare, Sal cycled the whole way
Sal's Mother and Sister, however, would stay
The journey was fraught, sky bombers dived down
Machine guns pounding, thousands on the ground ...
