Sou'westers is a brilliant tale of sailors, fishermen, miners and farmers. It delves into the origins of the language and people of the region, all of whom are the backbone of Cornwall and the South West.
John Dillon
John Dillon joined the RAF in 1963 and after some years as an apprentice and a Cranwell Cadet, he flew as a navigator on Vulcan bombers. He left the service in 1976 for a 30-year career in computers. Early retirement in 2005 was an opportunity to study for a history degree at Reading; a First was followed by an MA and a PhD. His previous books (both with Helion) are Allies are a Tiresome Lot. The British Army in Italy in the First World War, and Battalions at War. The York and Lancaster Regiment in the First World War. John and his wife live in Berkshire where retirement allows time for his photography, military history, and travel.
