Review: A Young Gunner's Story: One soldier's experience in the Artillery during the Cold War

A Young Gunner's Story: One soldier's experience in the Artillery during the Cold War by Mark Spencer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This starts with young Mark setting off to join The Royal Artillery.

It tells his tale through basic training, learning how to polish books, make beds, lots of PT and training too, at the hands of the loud Sergeant to NATO exercises..

There’s a lot of humour and shocks like peeing on an electric fence!!!!!!!ouch.

There are some photos too which really adds to the story.

This is just the beginning of his life as a young gunner in the Royal Artillery in the 80’s. It’s an interesting inside look at the life of a new recruit and a very engaging read.

Thank you to Caroline Vincent and CazVin Books for the opportunity to participate in this blog tour, for the promotional materials and a free copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.
