Harry Leslie Smith on his Mum finding a Shop's deposit purse during Great Depression and how she was treated. "Her good deed was valued by the store’s manager as worth no more than a tin of broken biscuits in a city where children were dying from hunger." jmsmith.substack.com/p/i-am-going...

THIS DAY in 2018, Harry Leslie Smith , of 'Harrys Last Stand' fame, died. In his youth he fought Nazis, in his latter years he campaigned for Social Justice.

Neil, worth reading what Harry Leslie Smith wrote in 2015.

I agree with both you and him.
I stopped buying the poppy many years ago. What I do is a monthly donation to another organisation supporting veterans.

Harry Leslie Smith February 25, 1923-November 28, 2018. Did we change anything in the world? Probably not, but it was worth the bloody try. And during it and after it, nothing else mattered, but that love we had for each other. jmsmith.substack.com/p/seven-year...

Lovely man. Glad to have met you both in stroud. Hope you’re doing ok?

3 days left & it's an SOS for my rent. Nothing great still your help in part keeps me housed & doing work I started with my dad including 6 books. New work Harry's Green & Pleasant Land excerpts on my sub stack. Out to publishers one so far wants it. paypal.com/paypalme/Har...

You were angry at death. If you could, you would have fought the Grim Reaper off with the broken end of a beer bottle. That’s how you fought your mum’s boyfriend after you witnessed him strike her. You were 10, malnourished — “skin on bone,” as you said. jmsmith.substack.com/p/seven-year...

The death of my dad 7 yrs ago, on Nov 28th, still does, on occasion, leave me breathless from grief. But I am very grateful for those last years with him, & that our mutual efforts produced something worthwhile — a last stand for the Welfare State.
