John MacGibbon: Struan's War

By MARGIE THOMSON

When Struan MacGibbon went to the Second World War, he took his notebooks and his Welta camera (neither of which he was technically allowed to take) and, during his time as a gunner in the North African campaign, diligently wrote more than 65,000 words in his diary, and took hundreds of good-quality photographs of people and places.

His nephew has edited the words and pictures into this very smart publication - a record of one man's experience of wartime.
