About the Book

Join Reginald (Reg) Cambridge at the beginning of his World War 2 journey in the early 1940s as he enlists as an Infantryman at the age of 17. Often humorous, sometimes tragic, but always honest, this easy-to-read autobiography shares the author's real life experiences during the devastation and chaos of war. By the age of 19 he was fighting in some of the most intense battles of WW2, including the North African and Italian campaigns. His simple ambition and motivation was shared by his fellow comrades - to survive! Although a traumatic period of history, humour and inspiration were always to be found, and this is the focus of many of the stories shared by Reg in this memoir. The author also explores the rigidity and intolerance of the military, which created in him a sense of injustice and frustration, resulting in a 'chip on his shoulder' that Reg carried for many years. Although briefly leaving the military on two occasions, he soon returned and spent the majority of his service in the Intelligence Corps in Europe and the Far East. This intriguing and captivating read invites you into Reg's world, sharing his joyful times as well as his sorrow, his thoughts and his stories of wonderful family, friends, pets and places, including the week he and a colleague went AWOL in Sicily during wartime in order to explore the island! The three-legged pig! Being hit in the arse by shrapnel! Being court-martialled! Having his jaw broken! Recollections of the comradery with fellow soldiers and those of a more intimate and emotional nature with women are also shared. Reg Cambridge retired on 1971. Approximately 60 years after his wartime experiences, he reunited again with his 'old pals'. Now in his nineties, he is excited to make his story available to everyone. This autobiography will be of interest to members of the military, WW2 Veterans, Military Social Historians, fans of biographies, friends and families of those who fought in the North African and Italian campaigns - and anyone who enjoys reading about the lives and experiences of others.
