Shows us the mind of the child blessed with the gift of literacy the horror of war magnified in his mind. The best of Jones once more

The brutally overwhelming reality of war magnified through the eyes of a four year old boy. It’s a haunting perspective. And how the young boy placed his leg to go to sleep to honor the felled soldier — wow! Gut wrenching detail. Excellent art work, too.

Well done! I’m just a few years too young to have Jimmy’s early recollections, though the war haunted me through the 40s and thereafter, just as it did him. A tale well told.

A fitting remembrance for those of us whose parents lived it, and maybe died for it. Bob always gets the zeitgeist right.

I like in this how Jimmy speaks in the staccato of a way to observant 4 to 9 year old — observations without true comprehension, emotion without context, instead of in his grizzled retrospective voice. It reads like a Black and white Life Magazine feature snd less like a vivid dream in grown up color. How dare we, Jimmy might say, have the temerity to presume that adult seasoning and sensibilities could ever rationalize much less truly understand the horror of 1939 to 1945. We’ll done.
