When the opportunity arose to do something more exciting than administration, he naturally went for it, little realising that he would end up defusing bombs and mines This book is a collection of his memories of those days. It is a touching and humorous account of his dangerous job where, in the early days of the war, you could be lucky to last more than just a few months.
