Not for the faint hearted, a timeless and hilarious story of a young recruit's life and adventures in the British army post National Service. Forgotten by those who served and informative for those who did not, the book is written with some level of naturalistic dialogue. ‘Now that, is naughty’ she said before they came together at a rush. ‘Very Naughty’ said Logan as he was pulled to the settee in a sprawl of arms and removal of everything that could possible get in the way of the action. 'Sir, On considered reflection I consider myself stagnating in this regiment if not in the entire British army and submit this my resignation...' read the major out loud to Logan before looking up. 'You do know you can't actually resign from the army don't you Logan?' The book Brigadier General the Hon. Diarmuid (Paddy) de Dildao D'Arcy (retired) tried to get banned.
