Fighting Proud
Author: Stephen Bourne
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1786722151
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
In this astonishing new history of wartime Britain, historian Stephen Bourne unearths the fascinating stories of the gay men who served in the armed forces and at home, and brings to light the great unheralded contribution they made to the war effort. Fighting Proud weaves together the remarkable lives of these men, from RAF hero Ian Gleed – a Flying Ace twice honoured for bravery by King George VI – to the infantry officers serving in the trenches on the Western Front in WWI - many of whom led the charges into machine-gun fire only to find themselves court-martialled after the war for indecent behaviour. Behind the lines, Alan Turing's work on breaking the 'enigma machine' and subsequent persecution contrasts with the many stories of love and courage in Blitzed-out London, with new wartime diaries and letters unearthed for the first time. Bourne tells the bitterly sad story of Ivor Novello, who wrote the WWI anthem 'Keep the Home Fires Burning', and the crucial work of Noel Coward - who was hated by Hitler for his work entertaining the troops. Fighting Proud also includes a wealth of long-suppressed wartime photography subsequently ignored by mainstream historians. This book is a monument to the bravery, sacrifice and honour shown by a persecuted minority, who contributed during Britain's hour of need.

Twelve hours after the accident, rescuers found him dead in the wreckage. #2 A taxi driver was driving past a hospital one night when he was requested to take a young girl to a nearby lake.

When they arrived, the girl got out of the car without paying the fare and disappeared inside a house. #3 The Japanese have a story about a swimmer who went for a swim in a lake every day. One day, he saw someone else in the lake, but as he approached the water, he realized that they weren’t swimming—they were drowning. #4 A American boy was sleeping over at a friend’s house and they were playing a game of telling scary stories. The boy had seen all of his older brother’s scary movies, so he wasn’t that impressed with what he had heard so far. Then the cousin arrived and told them about a girl who was waiting for a train to her high school prom one night, when she saw a group of her friends on the other side of the tracks.
