Author Description

In 2010 the body of a Ta sergeant, killed in action in Afghanistan, was flown home to Britain. This is a novel about the adventures and misadventures of the late Quarter Master Sergeant Major Tucker, and a group of Territorial Army recruits going through their initial training. Full of youthful vigour, a rabble of young men undergo gruelling training, intense discipline and abuse by Ncos at a rundown army camp, to emerge at the end of it toughened, more mature, and bonded with each other through shared adversity and misadventure. One hundred odd Raw Recruits' humorous passage to becoming Trained Killers!
