Was told this was on eBay,as a former R.E. bomb disposal Regt member I found this book an excellent read even though I do know the history of my old Regt.

This book is both entertaining and informative. I did a Bomb Disposal Course in the mid 60s and this refreshed many memories of techniques and hours spent at the bottom of muddy holes listening for a ticking fuse ! Whilst we learned TECHNIQUES ... this talks more of developments in keeping ahead of the Germans and individual acts of downright heroism. It's easy to SAY that Bomb Disposal is a cushy number because if you get it wrong you won't be injured, the first thing you know is that you're in heaven ... But the reality of kneeling in the mud beside a 1,000 kg bomb wondering it if will go off ... Is another matter entirely. No wonder so many of the lads were awarded the George Cross ! Well written and a very enjoyable read.
