About This Book

John Randle served with the greatly respected Baluch Regiment of the former Indian Army right through the fiercely fought Burma Campaign, winning an MC on the way yet, when VJ Day dawned, he was only some 60 miles from where he had started out nearly four years before. This collection of stories, drawn from memory, covers every aspect of a life in the forces from great courage to humor, presenting a personal picture of war at its bitterest.
