My Great Grandfather, Thomas Frank Benson, was an engineer in the R.A.F. during WWII, he was stationed all around the UK and then in 1944 he was told to go to India.

8.1 An Example for Exploration of Plot, First-Person Point
of View, and Ironic Tone
Alice Munro (b. 1931)
Alice Laidlaw Munro was born in Wingham, a small town in southern Ontario, Canada. She
began publishing short stories when she was a student at the University of Western Ontario.
Since then she has published seven collections of her stories, three of which received the Gov-
ernor General’s Award for fiction. Much of her work reflects perceptions she gained from
observing the relationships, ordinary happenings, and ways of people in her small town and
its rural environment. There’s a “looking back” quality in her work, developed not with nostal-
gia but with clarity, humor, and insight, especially about women, that speaks subtly to realities
in today’s world.
How I Met My Husband
Alice Munro (1974)
We heard the plane come over at noon, roaring through the radio news,
and we were sure it was going to hit the house, so we all ran out into
the yard. We saw it come in over the tree tops, all red and silver, the first
close-up plane I ever saw. Mrs. Peebles screamed.
“Crash landing,” their little boy said. Joey was his name.
“It’s okay” said Dr. Peebles. “He knows what he’s doing.” Dr. Peebles was
only an animal doctor, but had a calming way of talking, like any doctor.
This was my first job—working for Dr. and Mrs. Peebles, who had bought
an old house out on the Fifth Line, about five miles out of town. It was
just when the trend was starting of town people buying up old farms,
not to work them but to live on them.
We watched the plane land across the road, where the fairgrounds used
to be. It did make a good landing field, nice and level for the old race
track, and the barns and display sheds torn down for scrap lumber so
there was nothing in the way. Even the old grandstand had burned.
“All right,” said Mrs. Peebles, snappy as she always was when she got
over her nerves. “Let’s go back in the house. Let’s not stand here gawk-
ing like a set of farmers.”
She didn’t say that to hurt my feelings. It never occurred to her.
I was just setting the dessert down when Loretta Bird arrived, out of
breath, at the screen.
Note that this
story uses a first-
person point of
view. Everything is
seen through the
eyes of a teenage
girl.

The diary ends with Rhys reflecting on his father's life and a major mining accident that killed many workers.
