In his 92nd year, Pat Spooner is celebrating the publication of his book "A Talent For Adventure", in which he recounts stories of prison camps, daring escapes and rescues, missions hardly mentioned before now.

On active service with the 8th Gurkha Rifles and Intelligence Services in several campaigns from 1941 to 1948, Pat demonstrated much adventurous talent during challenging times earning the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and many awards including the Burma Star and military MBE.
