The thoughts of a direct descendent:

(Great, Great grandchild of the Prince)

All information held within this book is based on factual information and the information passed on by family members through the generations. At no point in time is the contents herewith written with the intent to offend or embarrass any party or parties involved directly or indirectly. There is no deviation from what is known in order to give benefit of interest to the reader and create a more palatable document compilation. The contents are merely what have been whispered for years within our family in fear of retribution if openly revealed. Due to the modern day attitudes of most for freedom and wellbeing of family, friends and countrymen it is hoped that this information is taken in good spirit and reflects the suppressive natures and lack of understanding the couple would have been subjected to in those times which lead them to conceal so much during their lives. A private life with loved ones around is not a shameful thing but a chance to grasp life in both hands and enjoy the pleasures provided, which is understood better in modern days. There is also a better understanding of having children out of wedlock and the required responsibilities of parenthood. It is however disappointing that there was no recognition at the time for the hidden prince with his father.s wealth and royal purse revoked with the death of his parents. The legacy of the Prince John was unattainable by spoken word, position in society, or wealth, but remained within a real brave heart that was able to go through life as a common working man in every day reflections of knowing his true birth right and bloodline. Due to the heavy burdens on royal lives it was indeed a blessing to give John Hanton freedom from that reign and royal responsibilities to live a normal life, but the knowledge of such has haunted all the knowing family members to this day, silently wishing to tell the story but wishing for nothing in the way of recognition. There has been so much written, documentaries made, and the movie Mr and Mrs Brown which Billy Connelly played the part so well, but this did nothing more than feed fuel to the fire with a need for truth to be known. Auctions on artefacts, sale of properties, with numerous accounts of people trying to make tall of the whispers, looking to cash in on such matters, and in most cases they have succeeded, even in bribery it is claimed.

Although there are details here about the royal couple that would have shocked the nation in those times it would be preferred to look at them as heroic in their abilities to suppress their love in the prying eyes of politicians and press of the day and still maintain a private life of sustained happiness. The respect for our royal family from then and now should never falter within our people and although there are higher expectations put on them due to their stature and standing they are always ridiculed at every corner by gossip mongers and paparazzi. This is expected to a point but it is hoped they all have peace and a breath of normality when they come up to their highland home in Balmoral even to this day. To meet with them and pay my respects would be a great privilege but unfortunately not something I could foresee.

Best regards from,

(Another loyal Scottish servant)

Malibu, CA (PRWEB) November 08, 2011

Remembering Private Lamb, a new novel written by WWII veteran Leon Cooper, is based on one of his war-time experiences.

In the novel, Cooper decides that Lambs remains are best left in the old battlefield, where he died. The remains of the Japanese officer are exhumed from Lambs grave. Like evil Ahab of the Bible, his bones are chewed upon by dogs, then tossed into a furnace.

In his Foreword, Ed Harris, movie great, says the title character is based on a real live, vital young man who was one of the fallen, a fellow serviceman whose name has been changed. Lambs story has haunted Leon throughout his life. Who was this man? What had his life been before it was taken from him? What were his dreams? His hopes? Private Lamb is thus a personal symbol for Leon of all those who lost their lives, not only in Tarawa, but in all of the wars ever fought.

Cooper goes to Tokyo to clear up the mystery of a Japanese officer buried in Lambs grave. While there, he falls in love with a Japanese widow and quickly finds his lifeand his brides–caught up in a campaign, passionately fought and fiercely resisted, to make Japan apologize for its war crimes.

In solving the mystery, Cooper takes us to:

An old Pacific battleground;
A controversial Japanese shrine;
A Japanese courtroom;
A storied New England town.

Cooper solves the mystery. The Japanese officer, his brides father, is the monster who commanded The Rape of Nanking and other horrors.

Cooper solves another mystery. Why did Private Lamb engage in utterly reckless behaviorhis medal cited extraordinary bravery and valor– during the battle of Tarawa, finally resulting in his death?

Remembering Private Lamb is available online at Amazon, at Barnes & Noble and at other outlets.

Paperback. 215 pages. Price $ 14.95. Published 2011.
