  • Best adult education possible!

    An excellent read and further insight into life at Sandhurst. My son passed out from there two years ago so the book filled in lots of gaps.

  • Honoured

    Having served in the fusiliers, its great to see how a young Lieutenant, can make it to the top of his chosen career. It’s a privilege to have saluted him when I was a young fusilier. OAFAAF
