Book Description:

In the early 1960s, Derek served with his Regiment in the Persian Gulf.
Generally, there were two opinions about service in the Gulf - some liked it and some didn't. Derek liked it. So much so that in 1967, when a vacancy was advertised for the Trucial Oman Scouts, he applied for it immediately.
This is his story of service in Bahrain, Kuwait and the Trucial States (now the United Arab Emirates).
And how did he sum it up? "What an adventure!"
