A BOY SOLDIER FOR THE QUEEN

A BOY SOLDIER FOR THE QUEEN

ByClive Fletcher

A BOY SOLDIER FOR THE QUEEN This book tells the real story of one boy’s experience of growing up in the 1950’s in the United Kingdom and overseas as a ‘service brat’ and then fulfilling an ambition, joining the boy service of the British Army straight from school at the age of fifteen in 1958. He signed-up for the Junior Leaders’ Regiment, Royal Corps of Signals, at Denbury Camp near Newton Abbott Devon at a time when military discipline was still pretty tough. In the Junior Leader’s he would start his training to operate the British Army’s long-range high-speed radio and teleprinter equipment. His story also reveals the wonderful comradeship and humour that is still so unique to service life. How his early technical and leadership trading in boy service equipped him for the rigours and challenges to come in both military and civilian life.
