A comprehensive account of the life of Second World War soldier Elfed Davies (1919­2002) who was raised in the rural hamlet of Salem, Trefeurig near Aberystwyth. The book gives vivid account of Elfed's childhood in Trefeurig, his employment in Aberystwyth before the war and his time as a young soldier in the North African Campaign.

Dyma stori tad a mab, Elfed a Brian Davies, y ddau ohonynt wedi eu magu mewn pentrefi bach yng ngogledd Ceredigion, Salem a Phenrhyn-coch. Mae'r ddau wedi byw bywydau gwahanol iawn: bu Elfed yn ymladd yn yr Aifft, Libya a'r Eidal yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd. Pan ddychwelodd i Salem ym 1945 roedd y lle a'i fyd wedi newid yn gyfangwbl.
