I devoured this book. Part genealogical mystery, part loving mémoire, part philosophy of war and empire, it was shot through with Palin‘s intelligence and humor. Thanks to my cousin @barbwire for a lovely birthday present.

Bk2 of October #BookMail is this latest NF. Years ago a young Michael Palin, just before his Monty Python days, was given a box full of family history, photos, diaries & letters. Tossing it aside till the pandemic, he found a photo of a Great-Uncle Harry & became intrigued. Research found he died in the Somme in WWI, but not before having a very interesting life. A nice signed addition, now I have two Python alumnus signature.🐍
