In the Army Now - The joy of the Armed ForcesI've never been a soldier. I was an air cadet once, but that mostly involved sitting in a mouldy hut learning about aeroplane engines with the hint that one day we might go flying.
Yet, anyone who has spent time defending their nation, or at least drinking bromide-laced-tea for their nation, must have stories to tell. Tell them now.

My GrandadI've never been in the army myself, but my grandad fought in WWII. He once escaped from an Italian prisoner of war camp because "it was boring". Some Italian peasants that didn't know there was a war on (don't know how) looked after him for a bit before he refound his squad.
He once got demoted for telling Montgomery what he thought of the food when he was in Africa.
