Description
A detailed and accurate account of one man's experiences as a National Service soldier in the British army during the 1950s is presented in this book. The author recounts his journey from basic training to serving on the battlefronts of the Korean War, where he was assigned to the Counter Bombardment Troop. The seasons and battle conditions in Korea varied considerably during his time, including a ceasefire and ensuing tense standoff that still exists today. Written six decades after the events, the author's account is notable for its accuracy and includes original photographs that add immense value to the historical record. This book will be of interest to those who were in Korea at the time, as well as the descendants of Korean War Veterans, offering a unique perspective on day-to-day army life rather than just battles. It provides an important part of the history of the Commonwealth and the United Nations' efforts to maintain peace and order in the world.
