We were asked to review this book for a fellow Gunner.  You can buy the book from Amazon and www.ashthebadge.com

'Ashley Topham joined the Royal Artillery in 1981 and served 24 years.  Mostly with 40 Regt RA.  He left the Army due to family commitments and now runs his own business.'

The Book was read by WO1 (RSM) L Young, 12 Regiment RA.  He said:

'A thoroughly enjoyable read about a soldier who reached the top of his game.  Hilarious at times, thought provoking and a fascinating insight into the life of an 'ordinary' soldier.  I couldn't put it down, so well written in a gritty, honest and straight talking no nonsense style.  This is a book every soldier should read!'
