‘First came the misery of training in freezing conditions for a deployment in a very hot climate. This was typical of the British army and so was the decision to send one hundred trained lunatics running around in dense jungle, armed with live ammunition. And they called this the solution?’
‘Warning Order Belize’ (Book 1 of British Army on the Rampage) is a 'down to earth' and witty account of a humble British Soldier on tour of duty in the Caribbean Country of Belize.
It’s the first of three of autobiographical novels that tell it how it was - warts and all. What the British Army really got up to in Belize!
"I wasn't in the SAS, I don't think I killed many people and if I did it was an accident. These are just the stories of a hell of a good time with real friends and comrades and the life we lived, the pranks we got up to and the friendships we formed. I make no apologies for the fact that these memoirs are humorous, because that's simply how it was for me in spite of the fact that we were fighting a war against insurgents who would happily torture a man to death. And if war is a serious business at least we had a lot of laughs on the way… So let's just say that for a young soldier - the idea of a posting to this Caribbean Country seemed like a dream come true, for like many soldiers I saw it for what it was - one long wild holiday - Club 18-30 with guns… but then I discovered it was more than that!"
Now was the time for some real soldiering, including the accidental destruction of the Warden's new hut with a grenade launcher, the export of frozen tarantulas, windsurfing with bull-sharks, biting the heads off chickens, insulting the memory of Bob Marley, causing a riot, breaking a toe on a frog, and the near death experience of a dislocated finger.
Sgt. Sean Connolly brings us his ‘laugh out loud’ memoirs of The British Army on the Rampage in 3 volumes and finally leaves the poor people of Belize in peace!
British Army on the Rampage is the first (and possibly the last) military account of the British Army in Belize, Central America.
