Sinossi
The journey from boyhood to manhood has rarely included such diverse experience. From military training in the Guards Depot to Trooping the Colour, from academic failure to intelligence work in Northern Ireland. From helping Rudolf Hess out of an ambulance to being tasked with taking the Queen's portrait. He even trod on Lady Diana's toe! Tim Rees colors every experience with profound and often idiosyncratic observations that offer the reader a taste of the sometimes humorous, often arduous, and, on too many occasions, brutal reality. Most importantly, Tim's stories are about shared experiences. Many of the men who shared Tim's experiences died aboard the Sir Galahad on June 8 1982. Along the way, this synthesis of evidence and interpretation debunks myths that have arisen in recent years, particularly about the Falklands. The fact that Tim was Battalion photographer means that the visual record included is unique, unpublished, and memorable.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. 207 pages, illustrated with photographs (some in colour).Tim Rees, who tells the story of his life in the Welsh Guards through a mix of humour, hardship, and sharply observed detail. Beginning with his difficult school years and unlikely path into the Guards, Rees describes everything from the intensity of training and ceremonial duties to unexpected encounters with royalty, intelligence work in Northern Ireland, and the emotional impact of losing friends in the Falklands. As the battalionâs unofficial photographer, he finds himself in extraordinary situations helping Rudolf Hess from an ambulance, photographing the Queen, and even stepping on Princess Dianaâs toes all of which he recounts with warmth and self-deprecating wit. Beneath the anecdotes runs a deeper theme, the enduring strength of military camaraderie, which Rees sees as the defining force of his life in uniform. Original black cloth, gilt lettered. With a slightly marked dustwrapper. Contents clean. Size: 16 x 24 cms. Category: Varied Books; New Arrivals; ISBN: 0752497103. ISBN/EAN: 9780752497105.
