Preface
This is the story written by my Uncle George. He lived from 1911 - 1996. During the 1980's he was pursuaded by his children to write down his war memoirs. These took the form of handwritten exercise books. On and off, over a period of 3 years, I have deciphered and transfered these onto computer. His story is one similar to that shared by many. A peace loving man called to war. This is a straight forward account of his time in the R.A.M.C.. In it his main loves of football and opera shine through along side many anecdotes of his time in the Army.
I have taken the liberty of calling it 'Duration'. I hope you enjoy reading it. I have taken as much care as possible to ensure the accuracy of its contents especially place names.
