The Letters and Diaries of Albert Williams from 1943 – 1945

Written by: Becky Sroda

Published: 2003

“Falling Down for the Count” is a fact based account of one enlisted man’s experiences during WWII. Beautifully written letters, preserved by a young loving mother of a large Italian-Welsh family give the reader a glimpse of daily life in the US Army Air Corp during two brutal years of WWII combat. Journal entries chronicle passage to England, missions on a B-17, and the awful truth about POW life at Stalag Luft I in Barth, Germany. Poems, diaries, and artful pen and ink drawings illustrate the tenacity and preseverance of the creative human spirit when forced to live in a hopeless situation. From beginning to end, the story captures and holds it’s audience, taking them on an emotionally charged armchair journey into WWII.
