THE BOOKS

 

I am pleased to present to you my two latest books.

 

The first 'From Matlot to Gunner' tells my story of a young immature 15 year old joining the Royal Navy at

HMS Raleigh, and how I eventually became a Gunner in the Royal Artillery. Follow my adventures and

training in both branches of our Armed Forces.

​

My second book 'Behind the Mace' follows on from my Army Service and of my 30 year career in Civic Life

as the 'Right Hand Man' to the Lord Mayors of Kingston upon Hull and the Mayors of Southend on Sea.

​

I hope you will find my Books both entertaining and humorous.
