A memoir of the Korean War by the famous soldier who was adjutant of the ‘Glorious Glosters' during the battle on the Imjin River which won the 1st Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment immortality. This book is not an attempt at a personal hero-story, and it is certainly not a piece of political propaganda. It is, above all, an amazing story of human fortitude and high adventure during the Korean War.
