In this issue

This book is a rambling account of several interesting incidents and episodes in a busy and varied career of an Army officer who has had the good fortune to serve in many different places, in many different appointments, for many decades. This book has no pretensions to enrich the great fund of military lore. This is just a tale of a wonderful time which a young professional soldier had the great good luck to enjoy. And it is meant to amuse the reader as much as it has amused the writer. The Indian army has changed over the years. The challenges are different too. But in every soldier's life there are lighter moments that help offset the gravitas of their noble calling. This book is replete with them.
