Comments: features in new book published in April 2007. "Ernie Goes to War". A story not of war but of a young innocent man who should not have gone but recklessly became disabled in an honourable rescue attempt to save or recover the body of a man he hardly knew but was a mate! He has never come to terms with his failure to rescue a friend and visits Korea constantly laying wreaths on behalf of MIA's family and friends..
