This memoir is based on the private journal the author kept throughout his years in the army from 1948 to 1953. As he passed through a training battalion in Ulster, to Scotland, then Aldershot and Sandhurst, to infantry service in the Far East and Middle East, military life was harsh, and often brutal."
