Produktinformationen zu „In Service (ePub)“
The journey from boyhood to manhood has rarely included such diverse experience. From military training in the Guards Depot to Trooping the Colour, from academic failure to intelligence work in Northern Ireland. From helping Rudolf Hess out of an ambulance to being tasked with taking the Queen's portrait. He even trod on Lady Diana's toe! Tim Rees colours every experience with profound and often idiosyncratic observations that offer the reader a taste of the sometime humorous, often arduous and, on too many occasions, brutal reality. Most importantly, Tim's stories are about shared experiences. many of the men who shared Tim's experiences died aboard the Sir Galahad on June 8 1982. Along the way, this synthesis of evidence and interpretation debunks myths that have arisen in recent years, particularly about the Falklands. The fact that Tim was Battalion photographer means that the visual record included is unique, unpublished and memorable.
Autoren-Porträt von Tim Rees
During six years service with the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards Tim Rees saw active service in Northern Ireland and the Falklands War of 1982. During peacetime, his duties included battalion photographer. On leaving the army, he went to work for the BBC in Cardiff. Very shortly after joining he was asked to tell his story of the Falklands War and the BBC One Play for Today, Mimosa Boys, was the result. He also advised on six plays for BBC Belfast entitled Ties of Blood.
