Life wasn't easy for Tony Collins as he grew up in the mean streets
of the East End of London in the years before the Second World War.
After his mother died when he was still only seven years old, his
father, unable to hold down a job while coping alone with four
young children, was forced to send them to an orphanage. But Tony
came through the hardships and graduated with flying colours from
the school of hard knocks, to head straight for a career as a
commando with the Royal Marines. During a stint in Malta Tony fell
head over heels for a local beauty, and after marrying her he soon
began to regard the island as his home. He went on to rise rose
through the ranks to become a warrant officer, turning down the
opportunity to become a regimental sergeant major back in the UK
because it would have meant uprooting his family from the island he
had grown to love. The Cockney Commando is a heart-warming story of
triumph in adversity and of challenges overcome through love and
courage.
