A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

When Doug Findlay signed on at the recruiting office in Edinburgh in 1951 he had ions of a local posting and wowing the ladies as one of the RAF s Brylcreem boys. Instead, he found himself combatting sandstorms, mosquitoes and murderous Egyptians who wanted Doug and his fellow Brits out of the Suez C Zone as much as they wanted to go home. White Knees Brown Knees, his account of a lowly erk s part in defending the C, is guaranteed to raise many a smile, especially from anyone who ever buffed a barrackroom or billet floor. But the book also has a serious side. Its Roll of Honour records a death toll of over 1,100 and shows why the Government had to do a u-turn and award the medal Suez veterans should have had half a century ago.
