'Rookie' was the signature used by cartoonist/caricaturist Ronald Rooke (1915-1990) and the name by which he was universally known to family and friends. He left a memoir of his wartime experiences which Duncan, his son, has edited for the wider public he felt it deserved. The memoir is one man's unconventional, eye-witness account of the Second World War and the experiences which made a lasting impression on his life. It is a frank, fast-moving, 'no frills' story which takes the lid off real life in the British wartime army. It is written with the values, attitudes and vocabulary of its generation and without today's political correctness.
