A personal account of a career soldier, his early life in the 1920's in a rural working-class family, orphaned at 13 years of age and enlistment into boy-service of the British Army one year later. Sent to India at 15 years of age, narrating an insight into military life in Pre-Independence India. An individual perception of the military pre-war years in India and Burma and his experiences during the war with the great retreat from Burma by a fragmented battalion. Post war military life and steady progression in rank and responsibility through to his retirement at 55 years in 1972.
