Die Laughing George Korankye

[Colin Jacobs]

I have just recieved my review copy of Die Laughing. George Korankye

 

Consider this. There were 9 Million mobalized Britsh Empire soldiers in WWI of those there were 3 million dead or injured.

 

Of the total combatants in WWI there were 60 million of which thirty seven million five hundred and eight thousand six hundred and eighty six were killed or injured.

 

Of the allied forces 40 million were mobalized and 22 million were killed or injured.

 

But still they found the time to laugh.

It is a humourous account of those who lived and died from WW1 to The Modern day wars.

The Aunty with the Whiskey is a contemporary war joke.

 

It is very funny and there are some sad, sometimes black humour stories but all in all it is a great read.

I sent in a few anecdotes my grandfather told me about the War so will be looking out for these.

 

It would make a great Christmas present for an elderly relative who lived during the war or a book for children who should learn about the funny side of conflict.
