"Picking up the Brass" is a hilarious look at what real life was like for the vast majority of young men who joined the British Army in the Eighties. It follows Eddy Nugent, a bored fifteen year old, living in Manchester, as he travels through the drinking, swearing and sex-obsessed world of our nation's finest. It takes him from basic training in Harrogate and on to Aldershot and the rum soaked shores of Belize. Written by two ex-soldiers, the book captures the unique aspects of the British military sense of humour, through the language of 'Squaddie Speak'. A must for anyone who has served, Antone who is planning to serve or anyone who has ever thought, "Surely everyone in the army isn't trained to kill people with a toothpick?".* This is a FINE, AS NEW text copy of the 1st./1st. with dedication.*
