Product Description
by John Russell (Author)
'Pull Up a Sandbag and Swing a Light' is a wonderfully entertaining account of John Russell's 12 years of army service between 1972 and 1984 with the 3rd Battalion, the Queen's Regiment. It is written in an engaging style and employs John's considerable skills as a cartoonist to illustrate each chapter. This book reflects the author's humorous take on life despite some serious aspects of serving in the army. In his own words, 'I wrote this book with the intention of showing the more humorous side of the military because we witnessed the most bizarre incidents and declared "You couldn't write a book about it could ya " Well I have, because it would be a shame not to ' This is a great read for anyone and a must for anybody who has had any contact with the military.
