Jes Mainwaring is primarily an architect rather than writer (albeit these share common elements), and an unpublished poet. Jes names his father Harry as the true author as he lived the story. Jes prompted and enabled Harry to make an audio recording of that story while it was still ‘living history’. Since the spoken word does not read so well in word-for-word transcript, Jes edited the script to make it more reading-friendly whilst adding Harry’s occasional further recollections and Peggy’s civilian insights. Initially Jes made a few hardback copies by hand for family under the title Bow and Arrow Man, but encouragement from various directions has lead to this point of publication.
