Two Sons is a story that refers to the battle of Passchendaele that took place in Flanders in 1917. However, it's not a detailed day-by-day account of how that notorious conflict took place. It's a story about the consequences of that campaign and how the lives of two families were dramatically changed following the battle.This book is based on a number of encounters that take place between a British and a German family in Belgium in the summer of 1932. The date is significant because in July of that year, Hitler and the Nazi Party were threatening to take control of Germany and there was a growing fear in Belgium of the possibility of renewed hostilities. My view is that this is a story that has never been told in any depth before. It's about the victorious and the defeated and how the dead of each nation is remembered or forgotten. This story does not seek to be pro-British or pro-German. As we travel along the journey of our lives we will experience joy, pride, despair, love, grief and the fear of loss. Two Sons is about the emotions, the passion and the feelings that many of us share, regardless of nationality, class, faith and status.
It's 1939 and John and Annie Williams from Lancashire are preparing for war once again. Their three sons and their daughter respond to the call to arms by joining the military forces. Herbert trains with the RAF while his brother James joins the navy. Harold plans to fight for his country by signing up with the army and Emma becomes involved in the covert world of espionage and secrecy with the Intelligence Service. In Germany, Dr Lehmann and his wife Martina are reluctantly coming to terms with the possible devastation of war. Their Son Peter Lehmann enlists in the army to work as a Medical Officer.In Belgium, Madame De Vos and her family are bracing themselves for possible invasion and occupation. Her son, Hugo De Vos decides to fight his war in the only way that he can, by working with the Belgium resistance.The three families face an uncertain future and prepare themselves for the very real possibility of pain and loss.In my first book, Two Sons, I tell the story of the Williams family from Britain, who while on a visit to Belgium in 1932 meet a German family, Eric and Martina Lehmann and their son Peter. Both families are in Belgium to pay their respects to their two dead sons who had been killed at Paaschendaele in 1917 and buried in Flanders. While staying at a Madame De Vos's hotel in Poperinge, both families eventually realise that they have more in common than they first thought. In July of 1932, Hitler and the Nazi Party were threatening to take control of Germany and there was a growing fear in Belgium and France of the possibility of another war. Having lost their sons in one conflict, both families feared that they may have to make further sacrifices. White Sand takes the story of the families on from the outbreak of the Second World War to the next decade. As we travel along the journey of our lives we will experience joy, pride, despair, love, grief and the fear of loss. White Sand, continues with the theme and like 'Two Sons it is about the emotions, the passion and the feelings that many us share, regardless of nationality, class, faith and status.
In the summer of 1914 John and Annie Williams from Lancashire are enjoying their family life even though the future is very uncertain.In Germany the Lehmann family are doing the same. As the threat of war moves closer both families are concerned that their sons and daughters will be called upon to defend their countries.Before the true horrors of the conflict become a reality each of the adult children of the two families rally to the cause. At first it's an adventure and an opportunity for each of them to make their mark. As the years of bloody conflict pass the possibility of injury and loss becomes a part of everyday life. There is little respite as the two families wait and hope. In 1914 the world is changing at a rapid pace. This is the time of exhilarating technological advances. Society is changing and there are new and exciting opportunities for many. Women are looking to establish themselves and the working class are hopeful of a better future.
Distant Crimson Fields - Two Sons, combines many of the chapters from two previous books, Two Sons and Red Earth and creates the complete story of two families during the first World War.In 1914 war breaks out between the major nations of Europe and two families prepare for an uncertain future. In the summer of that year John and Annie Williams from England and in Germany the Lehmann family reluctantly have to accept that sacrifices have to be made. Before the true horrors of the conflict become a reality each of the adult children of the two families rally to the cause. At first it's an adventure and an opportunity for each of them to make their mark.As the years of bloody war pass the possibility of injury and loss becomes a part of everyday life. There is little respite as the two families wait and hope.
By the end of 1944, former intelligence officer Jack Redman thought that he had retired. However, MI6 had other ideas.The Secret Intelligence Service had intercepted a new German code-name called Blood Wolf.They begin to realise that Blood Wolf is a last desperate attempt to save the Third Reich from total and devastating defeat.Jack and his team face a frantic race against time to prevent Blood Wolf from being activated. Their failure could have disastrous consequences and could even trigger World War Three.
It's 1932 and Hitler and the Nazi Party are threatening to take control of Germany. There is a growing fear of another war. Two families from vastly different backgrounds make their way to visit their sons' war graves in the Flanders region of Belgium. John and Annie Williams are on their annual trip from England in memory of their son, Herbert, who had been killed while fighting at the battle of Passchendaele in 1917. Erich and Martina Lehmann have travelled from Germany to pay their respects to the memory of their son, Kurt who died in the same campaign. During their visit, the couples meet and in the wake of such devastation, confrontational events take place. 'Two Sons' moves from the war on the western front to the domestic lives of both families over a period of two decades. Having lost their sons in one conflict, both families fear that they may have to make further sacrifices in light of the growing threat.

This book acts as an invitation to institutions, funders, industry and academics to review what, and how they support PhD provision and to elevate the status of supervision practice. It shows how research cultures - disciplinary, institutional and individual - affect the supervisory experience and highlight the challenges that supervisors face, as well as the rewards that successful supervisory relationships bring. It is also a celebration of the contribution that doctoral researchers and all those who support research make to society. Designed to provide opportunities for sharing of practice across disciplines and the sector, Doctoral Supervision and Research Culture will be of interest to both new and experienced supervisors, to staff and researcher developers in institutions, and to funders, policy makers and senior management in universities who seek to improve and enhance the supervisory experience for all agents.
