The (not too serious) exploits of a young Royal
Artillery Officer in Germany in the 1960s, extending through his career
from RMAS until after his retirement. The title introduces an enchanting
collection of humorous "Kiplingesque" episodes, drawn from the author's
real-life experiences in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Book Description
This
book about the picaresque exploits of a young Royal
Artillery Officer in Germany in the ’sixties and beyond will
appeal to everyone, especially to those who have been
associated with any of the Armed Forces at any time. The
characters and their adventures will be familiar, even if
their real names are disguised, and are guaranteed to raise
a chuckle. Even if you n
ever
served in BAOR, or didn’t know the difference between a BSM
and a BC, they will get you sprinting to the WC for a P!
This book would be an ideal present for current and
ex-servicemen and women, of any age, as well as a more
general readership. About the author
