Reseña del libro "National Service: A Slot in Life (en Inglés)"

This is not an autobiography of my life as such, but rather an attempt to record in as much detail as I can the experiences of a British National Serviceman during the mid-1950s. These stories cover the initial "intake" and training period in the U.K.; transportation by troopships, trains, trucks, boats and planes; transit camps and permanent camps whilst attached to many companies and regiments; and scenes of life from the Far East Theatre - Japan, Korea, and Malaya. At the time of my Call-Up, it dawned on me that this was a period of time to be avoided; however, after the first few months it occurred to me that this was a period of time that would never be repeated. To many men, this became a way of life until they were de-mobbed [discharged]. I really started to appreciate the situation in which I found myself and, more importantly, I started to value some of the people around me with whom I'd be spending more of my time. I valued the knowledge I was gaining week by week and I learned to judge the character of others by their attitude, deeds, and helpfulness.. I've been as accurate as I can, but obviously, I've had to use fictitious names for some of the men to whom I refer.
