Having been a soldier
Cover Notes A career which had began in the uniform of the Home Guard at the age of 15 reached its climax in the bomb-and bullet-scored alleys of seething Crater a quarter of a century later. A few months after one of the most successful military operations since the end of World War II, the 1st Battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, led by Lt. Col Colin Mitchell, was disbanded. There was a public outcry and Mitchell became a national hero. Now Colin Mitchell has written the story of his army life in full. It reveals him as a man of strong principles and ambitions, peerless courage and intellectual accomplishment. Above all it is an honest self appraisal and enthralling story of an officer who lead the Jocks into action from Italy in 1945 Palestine, Korea, Cyprus, Borneo and Aden. The readers of involvement is total. Reviews Non Write you own review of this Book
