Remembering Private Lamb is the story of an old soldier’s search for a young fellow soldier he met briefly on the eve of a long ago battle. It is a vivid description of how impressions formed during war emblazon themselves on all who survive and last for decades.
The main character sets out to find a young Private Lamb who rode with him on a landing craft during the battle of Tarawa. The old World War II vet revisits Tarawa and finds the grave of the young private. His search leads him to confront unrepentant Japanese, indifferent beaucrats, and his own emotional demons from that long ago battle. In the end, the old vet is chastened by the enduring nature of the fog of war and a final surprise at graveside: Exactly who is buried in Private Lamb’s grave?
