I have been asked by avid readers of my
Dragonfly true life genres if there will be a book two? Perhaps possibly a book three
of Dragonfly based on my late father’s journals. I would love to continue
writing more on the subject if there is still a demand for it. With fond memories of former
British colonialism Far East adventures during the ebbing days of the British
Empire. I would like to thank all my readers and friends for their support and
interest in my work. I hope you enjoy this submission, “Legends of the Dragonfly
“as much as I have writing it. It has been an emotional rollercoaster, sometimes with tears in my eyes remembering it all again. This work is based
upon a collaboration of ideas plus my childhood memories of my father. The work is taken from five journals that Rex,
my soldier of fortune father left behind. The stories he wrote were assembled
many years after which accounts for some gaps or varying quality in the
writings. History is usually defined by the survivors of conflict, but many
other brave local men and women were killed in the struggle during the Malayan war
fighting against communist bandits in isolated villages. There remains to this
day, a great deal of omitted, redacted or politically sensitive historical
events missing that was made by those serving at the lower end of the chain of
command.
