And the Regiment Blind with Dust and Smoke Paperback – 26 Jun. 2014

Lots or recycled generally well known 'military' anecdotes interspersed with some individual very personal war experiences and squaddie humour. I can certainly see what the John has set out to achieve, and it has worked if only to appeal to a limited audience. It was really sad though to read about him having to sell his medals. The unselfish support for charity is commendable.

I urge you not to think twice about purchasing this book for yourself; family and friends.....spread the word! It gives the inside story from those that were there..... Those that have “been there, seen it and done it”.....it is funny and thought provoking and will make you feel grateful that these people were and are still around to help keep us safe!.....Remember all the proceeds go to charity as well!

A great insight into a soldiers life, from raw recruit, to special forces top professional....Filled with very funny moments from the author, and other professional soldiers......This book goes from training at Aldershot, to North Korea , the Iranian Embassy and more....Its a very revealing book.......Thoroughly enjoyed this book.... And as an added bonus, all profits go to the Afghanistan Trust Charity for our wounded soldiers......Well done John Thompson....

good easy read, not hilarious but well worth it.I guess if you had any service at all, situations would be familiar!

A very good read

Not a very good read

Superb humour set in a military context. This should be the handbook for all recruit training.

Great read. A window on the cameraderie and humour of Service life.
