We will never surrender!
Unlike Commando, these series of comics that first came to light in the 50's have now been updated into bumper book size to save the young and elder readers from squinting too much to see the best what the British and allied armies had to offer in defeating the Third reich and its axis allies as well as the Imperial Japanses despite the odds stacked heavily against them.

Its hard to pick a favourite but mine will have to be "Rough Justice" it shows that it wasn't just the public school boys and those from a decent background that joined his majestys armed forces but for the few who did wrong and came good in the end!.

A book thats worth reading and taking a little time to appreciate what our boys of the past and present are doing in preserving peace and democracy that we all often take for granted.
