This book is a poignant and highly readable record of soldiering in a bygone era, the author being the last surviving officer from the RTR to see action in Korea. It should appeal to the general reader and anyone with an interest in the Korean War, armoured warfare, and/or the post-war British Army c. 1945-1960-highly recommended.
