Book excerpt: Herbert Peppard: The Eternal Man tells the true story of a 94-year-old World War Two veteran who was a member of the First Special Service Force, which is also known as the Devil's Brigade. Peppard grew up during the Great Depression in Truro, Nova Scotia. Unable to afford books for school, he dropped out at age 16 to work at the lumberyard. But with Hitler and the Nazis terrorizing Europe, he felt the call to join the army. Critical moments of battle are interwoven with letters, written by Peppard to his family and to Greta, the woman he vowed to return to and marry. Many letters were written from his hospital bed in Naples, where he spent six months recovering after being shot. The story follows Peppard after the war when he returned home to Nova Scotia. Today, Peppard is living in the very home where he was born. He writes columns in the local paper, walks a mile every day and continues to inspire others.
