BLOOD, SWEAT and STEEL
Frontline accounts from the Gulf, Afghanistan and Iraq
By Peter Darman
Published: 1 July 2010 Price: £9.99 pb
Many hundreds of thousands of individuals have now fought in Iraq and Afghanistan since the First Gulf War was triggered by Saddam HusseinÂs invasion of Kuwait 20 years ago. Thousands of soldiers and civilians have lost their lives in the ensuing conflicts and the War on Terror, and many more have been wounded, their lives changed forever by combat. Behind every statistic and headline is an individual whose response to conflict is unique. In his new book Blood, Sweat and Steel Peter Darman goes behind the headlines to present personal stories from a cross-section of nationalities and services from British Infantry and US Marines to Canadian doctors and former Iraqi captains. These eye-witness accounts shine a light on some of the big questions provoked by the complexities and hardships of modern warfare, and also reveal the human side of soldiering.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blood, Sweat and Steel publishes personal accounts of soldiers across nationalities and services from the first Gulf war to the War on Terror.
Supplying background information along with the personal accounts, this book is testament to the bravery and heroism of soldiers, showing the human cost of war and the long-term effects on combatants. MoD Oracle have kindly been given four copies of the book to give away. All you need to do is answer this simple question: Who's invasion of Kuwait triggered the first Gulf War? Closing date: Friday 13th August.

Great piece of history Tab, I have a similar one somewhere (VC also). Rather distant in the family tree, he was a cousin the Dransfields pictured above, who in turn were my cousins. It's amazing what dabbling in family history brings out of the woodwork  |

On a regular basis, students from North Mackay High School in Queensland visit the WW1 battlefields. Here is one reading a dedication to Roy Victor Dransfield who is remembered on the Australian Memorial at Villers-Bretonneux (April 2002). The student pictured is Jessica Ciantar with French Historian Yves Fohlen |
