Exploding tins of beans over a campfire. Hammering down tent pegs in the rain. Marching for hours, singing for days, and playing 'Bulldog's Charge' at every opportunity. This is a story shared by millions of people worldwide, and in communities all across Ireland. This is a book that tells the story of one man's experience with the Irish Scouts, but, in the memories he evokes and the scenes he recaptures, this is the story of a simpler time of which we were all a part.
