An ex-soldier of the British Army. Joined as a volunteer in the early sixties just as conscription ended and the last postings of the era were coming to an end. This author was involved in the adventures and the incidents outlined in this biography. From the beginning of his service in the British Army it would seem he wasn’t cut out for a military life, but he wasn’t the only one with a ‘record’ who managed to eventually reach a higher rank, there was plenty of competition from others, believe me! In those days…it WAS different, we were young, naïve and very stupid at times….judge for yourself. And enjoy this tale.
