Soldiering is a serious, frequently bloody business. That aspect
has been documented endlessly. But behind the blood, thunder and
de-humanising aspects of conflict are people - people in uniform
and people supporting them. All of them have personal feelings and
aspirations and they experience the humdrum assortment of daily
occurrences that closely match those of their counterparts in civil
society. Those aspects of their lives are not widely reported, or
appreciated, and it is on those that this book has its focus. 'Life
Wasn't Boring' relates the life, times, successes, failures and,
most importantly, the personal inter-actions and loves of a
professional infantry officer and his family, over more than a
third of the century that was his service. Some parts are as
serious as can be expected of a military account. Other parts might
surprise, entertain and even amuse the reader. Together they hold
up a mirror to reveal the human side of being a soldier.
