Hope you enjoy the series (and book). I've tried to get it as realistic as possible.

Did anyone else read the write up in todays Sunday Times regarding this?, it was a good read, also saying about the time Chris Terrill spent in Afghanistan with the late Tom Curry. If you can get your hands on a copy well worth a read!.

Its in the Sunday Times Magazine, I know what you mean about there being so much rubbish in the paper. Well worth a dig around the bins to find it!, you may be lucky and find a bit of old pizza somewhere in there as well!
