Set in the mid-fifties, a fictional account of a national serviceman, based on the author's own experiences, confronting the rigours of army life with pranks and humour, often hilarious. The hero seeks and finds adventure, and often adventure finds him, especially during the Suez Canal occupation and confrontation with Soviet-equipped terrorists where he served. His experiences in Libya are unusual, tinged with unforgettable pranks and great humour, culminating in a foolhardy journey across the Sahara on a motorcycle and a behind-the-lines adventure during the Suez War, again tinged with pure fiasco. From start to finish an action-packed, full of energy, humorous read.Lehmans, Paul is the author of 'On Her Majesty's National Service', published 2007 under ISBN 9781845491932 and ISBN 1845491939.
