I don't know why but the 'years ago' reference reminded me of all the Sven Hassell Books. One was turned into a great film; 'Cross of Iron'

These books got me through my mid teens....'Devil's Guard' is available on Amazon or e-bay but it and the two that came after it are reaching crazy money. 'The Old Man', Porta, Tiny, The Little Legionnaire...bloody hell, that takes me back. I recall going back to the mainland on leave (BA Shuttle) and seeing a bloke, obviously a squaddie, reading 'Fields of Fire', a Vietnam novel. Proved very popular that year (83) I recall.
