IT'S OFFICIALLY ON THE SHELVES!
Words cannot describe how pleased I am to see my Legion Magazine special issue on the liberation of the Netherlands now available in stores.
This Brit tells the largely Canadian story through the seasons, including the "sweetest of springs."

I recently finished reading 'The Spy Who Loved', by Clare Mulley, and it is a great companion read with her, 'The Women Who Flew For Hitler'. These are fascinating stories and I highly recommend reading both books. #HalifaxAuthor #SecondWorldWarHistory #WomenInWar @claremulley.bsky.social
