Some of the veterans I've met over the years

You can read as many books as you want on the subject but for me personally the best accounts of the Battle of the Bulge have always come from those who experienced it firsthand...The Veterans. Each one of them has left an indelible print on my mind. They were all modest and unassuming and moreover they were gentlemen the like of which will never pass this way again. Here you'll find a short resumè beside each photograph but 'Watch this space' !. Their full stories will soon be available in a forthcoming book titled 'The last voices from The BATTLE OF THE BULGE' that I'm in the process of completing with my co-author and dear friend Michael Collins. It's also the subject of and title of a major documentary currently being filmed...Watch this space! Honor their memory.
