Log Book - British Merchant Marine

Words at war presents logbook. One, two, three, woof. One, two, three, woof. Got it? Okay, okay. We'll start on your signal. Say what you want. Say it how you please.

Speak the truth of what you know. Now, I'm an Englishman. A sailor. My first name is Jack. I'm sitting here with a... little stump where a perfect, a good right foot used to be. The radio of people have asked me to tell you what happened. To tell you also what I'm fighting for, me and others like

me. Well, we were taught paid. Some of us got an a raft. We were looking. I'd been so badly wounded I was losing consciousness. But I remember two or three things. I remember how one manor I'll never know who held onto me their old time to kick me from slipping off. I remember MacDavid the second engineer with

it, with a little more about three feet long, smacking away to scare the sharks. I remember were lots of things. Yes, and we had plenty of time to think what it was we were fighting for. Plenty.

Words at War. The National Broadcasting Company in cooperation with the Council on Books in War Time brings you another adaptation of an important war book, Log Book, by Frank Laskier, British merchant seaman. Laskier torpedoed three times in this war, lost a leg on the third, And during his convalescence was invited before the microphones of the British Broadcasting

Company. The story he told electrified his country. Now Frank Laskier has written logbook, a novel that doesn't tell his own life, but a story not unlike it. I was a tall lad for my years, insignificant member of a large family, and a problem to my parents.
