The British Army and its counterparts in the old Empire and Commonwealth have always been strong on tradition. That the traditions have their lighter side is especially well illustrated by the tales that the Army's various units have told about and against each other. From the Western Desert to the Staff College at Camberley, from India to Inverary, here are stories of the misunderstandings, mistakes and misdemeanours of commanders and corporals, gunners and Gurkhas, sergeant-majors and skrimshankers. Taking us through over a century of military experience which has included two world wars and a number of minor conflicts. Ref LLL 2. Seller Inventory # 032055
