Title
‘
Opening Moves’ is dedicated to a man who exhibited the very highest level of courage and bravery under fire in one of the truly exceptional stories of World War Two.
I cannot begin to comprehend the metal of a man who exposes himself to enemy fire holding nothing more than a set of bagpipes. So to you, Piper Bill Millin, my humble admiration and thanks for your service. May you rest as peacefully as your love of the Pipes will permit.
Although I never served in the Armed forces, I wore a uniform with pride and carry my own long term injuries from the demands of my service. My admiration for our young servicemen and women serving in all our names in dangerous areas throughout the world is limitless.
As a result,
‘Help for Heroes’
is a charity that is extremely close to my heart. My fictitious characters carry no real-life heartache with them, whereas every news bulletin from the military stations abroad brings a terrible reality with its own impact, angst and personal challenges for those who wear our country’s uniform.
Therefore, I make regular donations to
‘Help for Heroes’
and would encourage you to do so too.
