    LOW WATER MEN A novel by William Gasston The British Channel Islands lie in the Bay of St Malo, just south of the Cherbourg peninsula closer to France than England. In 1940 the Germans invaded the islands and thus began five years of purgatory for the local population. 1 First published in February 2018 by William Gasston Cover, page design and overall production by William Gasston Copywright William Gasston All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form without prior permission of William Gasston. Disclaimer Low Water Men is a work of fiction which has been based on historical fact. Except for some historical wartime leaders, the characters are all figments of the author's imagination . Any similarity with any living person is coincidental. Acknowledgements Many thanks must go to the Jersey Evening Post for their permission in being able to reproduce the text of the orders of the German High Command during the Occupation. I am deeply indebted to Peter and Verity Cruickshank of Jersey who have been a major source of information, their family and friends being low water fisherfolk since long before the war. Thanks also to my good friend Phil Greaves of Lambley, Nottingham, England who undertook the edit and encouraged me to push on. Website Whatever you think about the pros and cons of the internet, it is probably( up to now!) the major game changer of the twenty first century. It disseminates information and opinions faster than a speeding bullet. I have set up www.lowwatermen.com so that any reader, who has been kind enough to peruse and enjoy my story, could access information regarding the Channel Islands and the German Occupation.
