Illustrated with Black and White Photographs. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. 235 pages. Tells the moving true story of a love that survives separation, madness and war. In 1939 Pamela Kirrage became engaged to a young RAF pilot Donald Hill. But with the onset of WW2 their plans fell apart. Hill was transferred to Hong Kong and sensing that he was caught up in the sweep of great events he began a diary in an old school exercise book. However, officers were prohibited from keeping such records and Hill devised a secret code that transformed his works into numbers. With the fall of Hong Kong, Hill became a POW but took his diary with him. This book is the story of Pamela's search to break the code in the book and to discover what Hill had endured and how it had affected him.
