After a brief period of military service, the author is quickly disabused of the notion that prospective employers would be falling over an ex-soldier, who could fire an anti-aircraft missile, sweep up copious amounts of leaves from the roads of a German army camp, drink like a fish and paint anything that didn't move. A Belgian Mata Hari, Harry Secombe's cake, an impromptu disguise to fool a vengeful husband, a Dutch prince and the young daughter of a famous actor; who volunteered to retrieve something a little different from a swimming pool, followed by a second bite of the military cherry, are just a sample of what happened next...
