What the media say BBC SOUTH TODAY Seventy Years On featured on BBC South Today on Friday 24 September when they highlighted the story of Dennis Moppett. Dennis joined the RAF in 1939 and was posted to the Far East. Captured by the Japanese on Java early in 1942, Dennis was doomed to spend the rest of his life enduring the terribly harsh conditions meted out to Allied prisoners in the Japanese POW camps. He died of a culmination of sickness and starvation in January 1945. His legacy was a unique collection of letters written to his family over a number of years while he was a prisoner. They could never be posted but he kept them concealed in a bamboo container. Upon his death his friends in the camp kept the container hidden and after the war presented it to Dennis Moppett’s family. The letters are an astonishing record of hardship and privations mingled with his fond memories of his family and happy days spent in and around his home town of Lewes in East Sussex. Together with a moving collection of family photographs, the letters are published for the first time in Seventy Years On.	SUSSEX EXPRESS “Seventy Years On is a fascinating and beautifully illustrated collection of memories of war..” MID-SUSSEX TIMES “The book Seventy Years On features the touching and powerful accounts of some of the heroes from World War II. It then marches through time to take in the true stories of people involved in many of the succeeding conflicts right up until the present day in Afghanistan.”	THE DAILY EXPRESS The Daily Express of Saturday 4 September carried a double page spread featuring celebrated artist David Shepherd’s story in Seventy Years On that tells of potential unexploded Luftwaffe bombs being buried in his garden, the irony being that David is one of the greatest champions of the Bomber Command Memorial Appeal that seeks to rise £5m to honour the 53,000 Commonwealth RAF aircrew that died in World War II. In the feature Daily Express reporter Paul Callan described Seventy Years On as a ’superbly illustrated collection of wartime memories spanning the time from the outbreak of war right up to the present day’.
