Dunkirk to D Day - printer’s proof

It is all coming together. The proof of the text is just about there, as are the images and the index. Yesterday I received the text of the foreword from Major General Malcolm Wood, President of the RAOC Association. It is wonderfully affirming of my efforts, but, more so, of the remarkable story I seek to tell.

About me

Phil Hamlyn Williams's current project is a book entitled Dunkirk to D Day, the stories of some of the RAOC men who fought in both world wars and who masterminded Ordnance supply for D Day.

His previous book, Ordnance, tells the story of the men and women who equipped the British Army for the Great War. It was published by The History Press in June 2018. His first book, War on Wheels, telling the story of the thousands of ordinary men and women who together worked to mechanise the British Army in WW2, was published by The History Press in September 2016. He wrote the story of the MacRobert's Reply collaborating with Story Terrace, published in December 2016. This is the story of an aeroplane, the woman who bought it and the men who flew it. He also wrote Charlotte Bronte's Devotee about William Smith Williams, the man who discovered and mentored Charlotte Bronte and a host of Victorian writers and artists. He writes family histories for Story Terrace and comments regularly on contemporary issues his own blogs. He is chair of trustees at The Lincoln Arts Trust which runs the Lincoln Drill Hall arts venue. He also chairs The Lincoln Book Festival. He works with others on CompassionateLincoln.

He was awarded an MA in Professional Writing at University College Falmouth in 2009. He has been writing for fifteen years, having spent much of his career in professional services, most recently as a partner in Price Waterhouse, and in the not for profit sector.
