Postcard Pier Netley Royal Victoria Military Hospital First World War
This postcard is a fine example of the pier at Netley Royal Victoria Military Hospital with First World War patients in their hospital blues.

It is from the collection of author Jill Bruce whose grandfather was a patient there. His wife was sent an Army Form B104 82 Letter of Condolence from the King WWI in error and days later was asked to send it back when he was found alive and wounded.
Visit Jill's website at www.jillbbruce.com.au which has details of her recent non-fiction work, Anzac Day, which describes the wars in which Australian and New Zealand forces have deployed.

![PTSD assistance dog Lynne book](photos/PTSD-assistance-dog-Lynne-book.jpg)
My PTSD assistance dog, Lynne, and I have written a book about how she helps me with my military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety, and depression. I talk about my time in the QAs and the coping strategies I now use to be in my best health.
Along the way, I have had help from various military charities, such as Help for Heroes and The Not Forgotten Association and royalties from this book will go to them and other charities like Bravehound, who paired me with my four-legged best friend.
I talk openly about the death of my son by suicide and the help I got from psychotherapy and counselling and grief charities like The Compassionate Friends.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."

![New post apocalyptic military survival thriller New post apocalyptic military survival thriller](photos/New-post-apocalyptic-military-survival-thriller.jpg)
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses a foreign jet fly over his Aberdeenshire home. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of former British army nurse, now horror and science fiction novel writer, C.G. Buswell.
