Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diary of a Sapper is the true story of a squadron of British Royal Engineers who were stationed in B.A.O.R. - West Germany - in the '80s. They were protecting the West from the Soviets - by getting drunk in German bars and eating very large sausages in the local schnellies. They got the call to go and rebuild The Falklands after the little 'upset' between the Junta and Maggie Thatcher. This is the real-life story of a bunch of Sappers whose only goal in life was to milk the situation for all that could be got. You've read books about the SAS, now read what the rest of us did whilst they were out playing 'soldiers'. Public Health Warning; Do not drink a hot beverage whilst reading this book, laughing with a mouth full of hot tea is not good and the pages are not waterproof, however, they are very absorbent if you run out of toilet paper.

Download or read book Sapper Martin written by Richard van Emden and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-11-02 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albert John ('Jack') Martin was a thirty-two-year-old clerk at the Admiralty when he was called up to serve in the army in September 1916. These diaries, written in secret, hidden from his colleagues and only discovered by his family after his return home, present the Great War with heartbreaking clarity, written in a voice as compelling and distinctive as Wilfred Owen or Siegfried Sassoon and all the more extraordinary given that it is not an officer's but that of a private. From his arrival in France and his participation in the Somme, through offensives at Ypres and eventual demobilisation after the Armistice, we see wartime life as it really was for the ordinary Tommy. In these journals, introduced and edited by bestselling First World War historian Richard van Emden, we witness the cheerful Albert Martin getting to grips with life in the trenches and, together with his comrades in the Royal Engineers, confronting the ever-present threat of injury and death. We also see the mundane reality of life at the front line - the arguments with superiors, the joy brought by the arrival of packages from loved ones at home and the appalling conditions in which that attritional war was fought.

Download or read book Mines Bombs Bullets and Bridges written by Michael Moss and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soldiers’ first-hand accounts of Second World War active service invariably make inspiring and exciting reading but Mines, Bombs, Bullets and Bridges is exceptional for several reasons. First, Brian Moss’s role as a bomb disposal specialist was especially hazardous. Secondly, he was in the thick of the action from the start, dealing with unexploded ordnance during the London blitz. He was then deployed as a frontline sapper to North Africa and onto Sicily before landing on Gold Beach on D-Day. Despite many close calls he was relatively unscathed until taken out by a butterfly bomb at Nijmegen. Fortunately, despite serious injury he lived, quite literally, to tell the tale but his war was over. While the author’s graphic account compares favorably with the very best wartime memoirs, it also has a unique element, namely examples of his outstanding artistic skill. It is truly remarkable that he not only managed to produce so many fine works under combat conditions and that he was able to draw such accurate maps from memory. His sketches and paintings bring a special dimension to this story. What a privilege it is to feast on the words and images created by this exceptionally brave and talented man.
