This work is about families united by grief for sons killed or anxiety for those captured in the bold commando raid on the French port of St Nazaire in 1942. Micky Burn, a writer and poet, led 28 men into the raid. 14 died and seven (including himself) were captured. Micky ended up in the notorious prisoner-of-war camp, Colditz.
