When I was in uniform-- : reminiscences of a national serviceman / James Suresh ; [illustrated by Syed Ismail]

Information About

In this charming and funny book, Suresh recalled his Singapore Armed Forces days when he was enlisted in 1975. Although the army then was not as well equipped or well organised as it is today, people whom he met and worked with improvised where necessary and made creative use of limited resources. Some were colourful characters who left an indelible mark. Others were outstanding pioneers in their field and became legends in their own time. He dedicated this book them, and to all young enlistees who will never know what it was like in the old days unless someone enlightens them.
