In Sights : The Story of a Welsh Guardsman.

207 pages, illustrated with photographs (some in colour).Tim Rees, who tells the story of his life in the Welsh Guards through a mix of humour, hardship, and sharply observed detail. Beginning with his difficult school years and unlikely path into the Guards, Rees describes everything from the intensity of training and ceremonial duties to unexpected encounters with royalty, intelligence work in Northern Ireland, and the emotional impact of losing friends in the Falklands. As the battalion’s unofficial photographer, he finds himself in extraordinary situations helping Rudolf Hess from an ambulance, photographing the Queen, and even stepping on Princess Diana’s toes all of which he recounts with warmth and self-deprecating wit. Beneath the anecdotes runs a deeper theme, the enduring strength of military camaraderie, which Rees sees as the defining force of his life in uniform. Original black cloth, gilt lettered.
