A fascinating insight into the life of a boy who grew up in Wales to fulfil his dream of becoming a soldier. The author’s journey through his 26 years army service gives a captivating glimpse into the life of an ordinary soldier, exciting, entertaining, and sometimes not for the faint hearted. For a boy who’d barely been outside of Wales we read how Kevin completed two 6-month construction tours as part of the Royal Engineers Corp business and follow this young sapper’s adventures as he experiences the reality of living with the wildlife in Kenya’s Aberdare National Park, including a very close and personal encounter with an elephant which will stay with him forever, and his hilarious encounter with a skunk whilst driving a dirt track in Canada. An accomplished novice skydiver with over 150 jumps under his belt, he competed in the Tri-Service championships two years running and took part in parachuting exercises in Cech Republic and California. He also witnessed the devastating scars left behind in war torn Bosnia and Herzegovina shortly after the Bosnian war and in the early 1990s, has dodged mortars and rockets in Iraq and Afghanistan.
