Young British Soldier Serving the Queen

Description

A BOY SOLDIER FOR THE QUEEN

This book tells the real story of one boyÕs experience of growing up in the 1950Õs in the United Kingdom and overseas as a Ôservice bratÕ and then fulfilling an ambition, joining the boy service of the British Army straight from school at the age of fifteen in 1958.

He signed-up for the Junior LeadersÕ Regiment, Royal Corps of Signals, at Denbury Camp near Newton Abbott Devon at a time when military discipline was still pretty tough. In the Junior LeaderÕs he would start his training to operate the British ArmyÕs long-range high-speed radio and teleprinter equipment. His story also reveals the wonderful comradeship and humour that is still so unique to service life.

How his early technical and leadership trading in boy service equipped him for the rigours and challenges to come in both military and civilian life.
