In Service is the tale of one person's journey into manhood,
ultimately finding himself in the theatre of war. It is a journey
littered with colourful anecdotes and diverse experience: from
military training in the Guards Depot to Trooping the Colour; from
academic failure to intelligence work in Northern Ireland; from
helping Rudolf Hess out of an ambulance to being tasked with taking
the Queen's portrait. Tim Rees colours every experience with
profound and often idiosyncratic observations that offer the reader
a taste of the sometimes humorous, often arduous and, on too many
occasions, brutal reality of service. But, as Tim says, 'The
positive effect is the bond of common experience I share with men
with whom I served in the army' - a type of bond that, in his
opinion, is in danger of being lost in the modern age.
