Great news! Can't wait to buy his book!

Marion I am sure Joe is describing the explosion that took place in 1944 at the US 228th American Hospital built by combat engineers in 1943 near Sherborne, Dorset.

I visited Sherborne in 2005 and met with Mrs Jean Treasure who was a civillian working for the US military at the hospital. I also posted an article on this website at that time about the accident and the commemorative plaque dedicated to those killed, sited at Sherborne Abbey.

Ah, and it all comes together. Thanks for your thoughts. I hope Joe gets a chance to read your post.

I managed to find my original thread from 2005.

Thanks Colin!

Joes' book is almost ready...

Hi all: My manuscript is now with the publisher. It should be published within 60 to 90 days. It is the culmination of four years of hard work between medical crises. Thank God I am still here to see it published.

God bless all of you. The title is "My Nine Lives (minus) One". It should be available on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble.

Love, Joe

I will let everyone know when it's been published.

Way to go Joe. So happy for you!

Joe is a WWII 394th Engineer.

Joe replies:

Marion: Thanks; it is the 294th Combat Engineers and the 293rd Combat Engineers before that.

Don't forget about Joe's book. He sent me a signed copy. He also mentioned me in the forward. What an honor!
