It is not a biography of the 1st Argylls, it is simply a story based on the Regim e n t w h ich fought so valiantly in that far off land and gained the distinction of winning the first Victoria Cross to be awarded in that war. The book outlines the cruel winter conditions which these tough Highlanders had to cope with without b ei ng e q ui pp ed with winter clothing. The humour, pathos and horror of war have been clearly outlined in this story and will clearly refresh the memory of any ex-soldier who served in that theatre. Many biographies have been written about prac tic all y e ve ry Reg iment that served in the Korean War, all by professional writers, this story is a 'Voice from the Ranks' as it were, a story written by a Ranker."
