Description

All through his 36-year career in the Canadian Army, the writer saw some wonderful sights and met hundreds of interesting people, some of whom appear on this choice of anecdotes. From the first sergeant major at cadet camp to the witty and erudite professor at the team of workers college, they all enlightened and amused the impressive youngster who grew into an ancient and, now and then, cynical old colonel. Along the way in which there were adventures galore at places with bizarre names: Canoe River, the Imjin, Shilo, Kophinou and at others better known: England, Labrador, Ottawa and Washington. Those adventures are the stuff of stories that old soldiers tell when they gather in the mess and the emphasis is at the good times.

These are the stories.
