Pull Up A <strong>Sandbag</strong>– Jonathan Smiles<br />

A Comical Compilation of British Military Humour Contributed by military<br />

personnel from the British Army, Navy and Air Force, some of the<br />

descriptions of the mad, bad and dangerous antics of servicemen on and off<br />

duty to be found in Pull Up a <strong>Sandbag</strong> are enough to scare the living daylights<br />

out of the average civilian, whilst others would cause even a hardened RSM to<br />

blush - but they will all be recognised as true to life by anyone who has served<br />

in the armed forces.<br />

<strong>The</strong> daft pranks that military types like to play on one another and especially<br />

on `sprogs' and `newbies' - the disastrous results of mixing stupidity with lethal<br />

weaponry - the havoc caused by the infamous Emperor Mong, who whispers<br />

in the ears of unwary servicemen and tells them to do things they will later<br />

regret - the misunderstandings between those in command and the men they<br />

are commanding - the misfires, mishaps and mistakes - all are recorded here<br />

for the reader's education and amusement.<br />

A humorous treat for all former or serving military personnel and a real eyeopener<br />

for inhabitants of Civvy Street, this book is also a fundraiser for the<br />

charity Help For Heroes so all the laughter is also for a good cause.<br />

Personally, I have read this book cover to cover many times. If ever a book<br />

can lift someone out of the blues, it’s this one. Hilarious!! Pabs.<br />
