A little bit about the author. These are the sort of potted biographies that you will often see on the inside cover of books - at least there's no mention of growing carniverous plants or answering fan-mail! The comfy deck chair and relaxed attitude of a man on active service in a distant, hostile environment. If you wear those clothes in the jungle then I don't give much for your chances! It's humour, so get over it! Its amazing what boredom can drive you to...and when it turns to obsession - well, just be very, very careful, that's all I'm saying. Some little angels, little horrors - and some big one's too.... It seems that one profession can suit a family for generations. It makes you feel that the world simply didn't move very quickly at all in those days. Compare it to today's careers - here today, gone later today. Mentioned several times in dispatches. Involved in military and civil projects that made him very highly regarded and rewarded at home and in the Middle East and India.
