Description
In 1978, the year before his death, Edward Dillon O’Connor (known as Bill) started to record his life story. However, he only completed the account of his earlier days in Jersey (The Channel Islands) where his Irish father, Dr Edward Morris O’Connor, had established himself as a General Practitioner in 1895.
These memoirs of Bill’s early years convey what it was like to grow up in an Irish family establishing itself in a totally new environment, further complicated by the onset of The Great War in 1914.
