My Dad's War: 1940-1945 - Barn McDevitt
In this episode of Write Your Story, Angela is joined once again by Barn McDevitt, who shares the remarkable story of his father, John Francis McDevitt, and his experiences during World War II. Pieced together through family memories, military records, letters and years of research, Barn traces his father's journey from New Zealand to North Africa, his capture and years as a prisoner of war, a daring escape attempt, and the gruelling Long March during the final months of the war. Barn also reflects on the importance of preserving the stories previous generations may not have told themselves, and how family research can bring those experiences back to life. Write your Story is a series of stories, written and narrated by their authors. These "new" authors bring us a story they have put together recently and share with us all.
