While Flashman as his name suggests gets all the publicity, I would definitely recommend that you try to find and read firstly "Quartered Safe Out Here" about Fraser's life in the Army during WW11 in India and Burma. When you have enjoyed this book then search out his "McAuslan" stories about the Worst Soldier in the World, they recall so many episodes in Army life in the British Forces and are told with both affection and great humour.........

My dear Beth The author has an obit circulating in various Lists. I confess I did not know of him and wonder why when he appears to be such a favourite with so many (men) in various Lists. I shall have to check him out WHEN my eye gets 'done'.
