Welcome. Lordy, from the look of things I thought all the editors and proofreaders were dead! Glad to know at least one is still at work. ;-)

Howdy Leo, I still have my Bridge at Remagen paperback from when the movie came out, and my wife is from Clear Lake.

G'day everyone, I'm Mark from NSW. Current serving member in the navy. Military fiction is my passion as is children's books. I'm also an aspiring writer and have written 2 novels which are not published yet. One is only a few weeks away from being self-published, a children's story. I've written a naval fiction story as well, but little to no interest from publishes. I'm starting to wonder if I should just concentrate on children's stories and shelve my desire to write Naval fiction stories as well. I adore C.S Forester and Douglas Reeman novels, which I tend read over and over again. Cheers everyone.

Welcome to the group Mark. Hope you find enough to interest you. My dad swore by Douglas Reeman, and got me into them too.

[Jeff]

Welcome Mark! And of course there's Patrick O'Brian's 21 volumes.

Welcome!

[Mark]

Thanks everyone for the very warm welcome. Dimitri, I have a copy of the Cruel Sea, a wonderful book. Also Alistair MacLean books are a favourite of mine. HMS Ulysses being a great read. Hoping my novel, The Kaiser's Phoenix is up and running this year for folks to pass judgement on my story and writing technique.

Cheers everyone.

Reeman and Forester novels are VERY hard to get in local libraries. As are Patrick O'Brian. (local means Cumbernauld/Stepps/Muirhead part of Central Scotland).

Welcome Mark, good to have you aboard (pun intended). This site has been a great source for building my to read list. I like all things history with a special interest in WW2. My dad served with the US Army in the Pacific and would not talk about it much which drove my curiosity. What do you do in the navy? Land based or sea duty? I like Douglas Reeman as well and have just started discovering more of the age of sail type novels.

Hi all, I'm Peter...new to the group. Interested in WWII history, especially the role played by women on the home front and overseas. My aunt, Edith Witt, served in the Red Cross Club Service in Oran and then in Italy. Book about her life, Edith's War: Writings of a Red Cross Worker and Lifelong Champion of Social Justice, is in pre-publication sale on Amazon. Interesting women and life. My uncle, Arthur Witt, was a member of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in Spain, killed Feb 27, 1937. My father fought at the Battle of Bulge. I was a war baby.

Hi Everone.
I'm new to 'Good Reads' so slowly finding my way around it all. Really enjoying it though.
I love Military History, and World War 2, so this seemed a good group to join.
My favorite thing is armored fighting vehicles. I love the Soviet tanks of ww2 and their German counterparts.
Anything about the war on the Eastern Front I find of interest. And I enjoy visiting military museums and going to re enactments.
It looks like there's going to be some interesting discussions on here.
