We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. I would sugest that people should endevour to get the original version to get an understanding of the total cock- up that he was thrown into in his first few days of the war. The regiment is also blessed with soldiers who are no use to anybody, disruptive or even mentally disturbed. Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall is a 1973 British comedy film adaptation of the first volume of Spike Milligan's autobiography. Don't get me wrong; I laughed, rolled, smiled, shook my head with mock-disbelief and loved all the freaks and weirdos and did not want the splendid comic set-pieces to end.

During one training deployment, Milligan and others were caught hiding their rifles in a loft, resulting in two weeks detention. It wasn't easy – the train didn't stop there" [4] Part 2 [ edit ] Members of 56th Heavy Regiment with a BL 9.With that out of the way, my recommendation is that this is better thought of as the war time memoires of a soldier, musician, and humorist and not as it tends to be sold as the early humor of the leader of BBC radio gag show, The Goon Squad. But along the way Spike and his friends get involved in many amusing - and some not-so amusing - scrapes.

At my side is a paperback copy of Book 4 of his war time memoirs and the photos in it are much crisper, even if page size is only slightly larger. For all the privations of army life, it is clear that Spike had a lot of fun during this period, and the humour that was to make his name with the Goons and beyond is here in abundance.There are lighter comic digs made at stiff-upper-lipped authority, the abysmal cooking, the futile marches and camping trails that only amount up to idleness, farce and trivial affairs.
