I feel very strongly that our military history should not be forgotten so I have decided to try and preserve individual memories by publishing memoir books for family and friends and anyone else who would like to read them.

Remember. It didn't start with extermination camps, or with a determination to wipe out an entire race or those that didn't agree with the minority. It started with intolerance, with politicians and activists who set out to divide society. It started with restrictions on free speech, censorship, rewriting history and book burning. It started with a refusal to accept personal responsibility for the present and a belief that rewriting the past would change the present. It started with a minority who wanted to override democracy, who thought they were superior, who believed that their lives mattered more. That is why we need history. Lest We Forget.

New book by Kevin Trott

This book is the story of my great-uncle, Horace Smith, an ordinary, working-class, Londoner whose destiny would be framed by the tumultuous events, beyond his control, which were taking place on the continent of Europe during the 1930s.

21 years old when Britain went to war in 1939, he was just one, among a million others, swept into the bewildering, terrifying, grasp of the British Army and sent to fight, and if necessary to die, for King and country, in a foreign field.

Horace was ā€˜deemed to have enlistedā€™ in the Rangers, a Territorial Army battalion of the Kingā€™s Royal Rifle Corps. The KRRC was a rifle Regiment, established in North America in the mid-18th Century, with a long and proud record of service to the British Crown. During World War Two they were designated as ā€˜motorised infantryā€™, operating in support of the tanks of the Armoured Divisions.

Shipped out to the Middle East at the end of 1940, the Rangers saw action in the disastrous early campaigns which marked the first two years of the war when it seemed that ultimate defeat was staring Britain in the face.

2 years later, in October 1942, Horace, no longer a green, untried recruit but, at age 24, now a, battle-hardened, ā€˜old soldierā€™ was part of the army which turned the tide in Britainā€™s favour in a decisive battle at a godforsaken location in the Egyptian desert called El Alamein.

My Ashes to Yours: Eternal Love (Real Lives. Memories in Print) 14/08/2023

Today is the anniversary of VJ Day. A day to remember all those who fought and died in the Far East, and those who survived the appalling conditions in numerous barbaric POW camps. For many the scars never healed. But don't take my word, read the truth from someone who was there, in his own words. John Emmett's final wish was for his story to be published so he could honour those who didn't survive. RIP John x

The Re-Enlightenment 27/07/2023

For those of you who are interested in spiritual matters I suddenly realised that The Re-Enlightenment, the first book I ever wrote (with hubby's help) in 2006, was only available in kindle format on Amazon so I have now published a print version. It's exactly the same as the original, not altered in any way, just a printed version of the kindle.

The Re-Enlightenment Who are we? Why are we here? Is there a god? The world we currently live in is characterised by its conflicting cultures with their diverse political, social and religious views. Add to this the growing climatic problems and the increasing gap between those who have and those who have not and thi...
