Arthur served with the 10th Battalion Durham Light Infantry and survived the Dunkirk retreat. His letter home was published in New Zealand papers in 1940. He died at sea near Iceland in 1942 when his ship was torpedoed by a German U boat.

The booklet includes Arthur Lawn's letter home about the Dunkirk retreat, and a poem by the editor, 'The Snow Goose', for Paul Gallico.
