Sinopsis
In Service is the tale of one person's journey into manhood, ultimately finding himself in the theatre of war. It is a journey littered with colourful anecdotes and diverse experience: from military training in the Guards Depot to Trooping the Colour; from academic failure to intelligence work in Northern Ireland; from helping Rudolf Hess out of an ambulance to being tasked with taking the Queen's portrait.
Tim Rees colours every experience with profound and often idiosyncratic observations that offer the reader a taste of the sometimes humorous, often arduous and, on too many occasions, brutal reality of service. But, as Tim says, 'The positive effect is the bond of common experience I share with men with whom I served in the army' - a type of bond that, in his opinion, is in danger of being lost in the modern age.

Acerca del autor
During six years service with the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards TIM REES saw active service in Northern Ireland and the Falklands War of 1982. During peacetime, his duties included battalion photographer. On leaving the army, he went to work for the BBC in Cardiff. Very shortly after joining he was asked to tell his story of the Falklands War and the BBC One Play for Today, Mimosa Boys, was the result. He also advised on six plays for BBC Belfast entitled Ties of Blood.
