National Service Capers Comedic Retrospectives from the National Service Years
27 individual stories featuring the comedic adventures of short and swarthy Ginger Harrison and his tall lanky mate Sticky Albright over a two-year sojourn in defence of king and country; the skives and the scams, the conflicts with irascible Sergeant 'Bandy' Jordan and supercilious Squadron-Leader Aljonquin Phartingail ffoulkes-Knight; the camaraderie among fellow inmates of Hut 29 in RAF Padgate. These tales are loosely based on the experiences of the author during his stint as a national serviceman during the 1950s.
