BRITISH ARMY ON THE RAMPAGE (B.A.O.R.)
This is a trilogy of autobiographical and often humourous books detailing the exploits of Bombardier, Sean Connolly. The Country of Belize forms the amazingly colourful landscape to his novels. Why the British Army were and still are there, stretches credulity - but then why the British Army are anywhere can be a little confusing. Let's just say that for a young squaddie - the idea of a posting to this Carribean 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 it was more than that!'
Book 1 - 'Warning Order Belize'.
With the nation’s military interests lying deep in the jungles of Belize, there is one military force that surely even the Ministry of Defence wouldn’t consider sending.
A ‘warning order’ for a six month fully operational tour of the Caribbean was issued by the Battery Commander and the training began. With the journey leading up to the beginning of April 1982 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?
PRICE: £1.96 (approx $3.00)
Book 2 - 'Muck 'n' Bullets'.
Belize, Central America. This is Sean's time to shine. His gun-crew have just won the coveted Regimental Gun Competion. Now is the time for some real soldiering, including over-indugence in the poisonous local drink 'green stripe', the accidental destruction of the Warden's new hut with a grenade launcher, revenge on a football team for winning, escapades in 'Bobby's Bar', and the export of frozen tarantulas.
B.A.O.R. makes M.A.S.H look serious!
PRICE: £1.96 (approx $3.00)
Book 3 - 'White Knuckle Airways'.
Halfway up the mountain Sean looks at Sgt. Major Chindits pallor and can see that he is not a well man. The Puma helicopter is grounded and has been rendered unserviceable. But the crucial supplies must reach the observation post at the top of Saddleback Mountain. Sean shouldn’t be trying to rehydrate the Sergeant Major in these scorching temperatures; he should be throwing him off the side of the mountain. Chindit had recently charged Sean and it had cost him another stain on his military record. Why should he help him now?
Amidst escapades including windsurfing with bull-sharks, biting the heads off chickens, insulting the memory of Bob Marley, causing a riot, breaking a toe on a frog, an intriqueing Guatemalen girl and the near death experience of a dislocated finger, Bombadier Sean Connolly brings his memoirs of The British Army on the Rampage to its climactic conclusion and finally leaves the poor people of Belize in peace!
