Jim grew up at the time the Churchill Barriers were being constructed and was familiar with the tremendous task taken on by Balfour Beatty and the Italian prisoners. This experience later formed the source of information for this book. It was the first one to be published on the subject and Jim transferred the copyright to the Orkney Wireless Museum, of which he was the founder.
The Churchill Barriers, The Italian Connection, Scapa Flow, The Chapel etc.
Compiled from recollections of visitors to the Orkney Wireless Museum, supplemented by contributions of material and photographs from local people.
