More Time in the Army Peter Knowles

The sequel to 'Once Upon a Time in the Army' After John Sargeant (aka The Sarge) left the army the story is taken over by Rod, Billy and the rest of the crazy squaddies that Sarge left behind stationed with the Duke of Wellington's Regiment at Catterick North Yorkshire and Northern Ireland in the early 1970's. After lazing about on the beaches and in the bars of Hong Kong, it was a bit of a shock to find out they were now expected to work for a living. But what was Billy up to? What secret was he hiding? The crudeness of soldier's speech and behaviour is a well known fact and is represented in this novel, which contains details of a sexual nature and very strong language. Readers likely to find such representation disturbing or distasteful are warned. Some characters and events in this novel are based on real people and events, some characters and events are fictitious. I will leave the reader to make up their own mind about what is real and what is fiction.
