At Government Expense

Vividly recounting his military service from 1942 to 1946, Norman Jackson's memoirs detail his experiences with the Royal Signals and various artillery regiments across North Africa, the Middle East, and Italy. Key battles, including those in Tunisia and the landings at Salerno, are described with striking clarity. Later chapters reveal his encounters with Indonesian militants during convoy travels in Java. Edited by his nephew, the memoirs are enhanced with maps, photographs, and extensive notes, providing a comprehensive view of his wartime experiences.
