About this product

Product Information

A humorous and affectionate story of one man's National Service days. Two million young men did National Service between the end of World War II and 1963. Many loved it, some hated it, but the service left a profound impression on them all, and for most this has lasted a lifetime. After over 40 years Tony Thorne recalls his National Service. From a disastrous medical at the beginning, to a court martial at the end, he tells of a succession of absurd incidents with much good humour. The Army's own peculiar language, basic training, inter-squad boxing, BAOR exercises and a demolished cookhouse are just some of the incidents he recollects. The author aims to provide entertaining nostalgia for those who served and a humorous insight into a way of life now gone forever for those who didn't.
