The Reluctant Soldier

Sergeant Smith didn't want to be in the army. He was called up for WW2 and assigned to the Signals due to his experience with telephones at the Post Office. These are his personal recollections of the war. He was rebellious and lived for the day, scheming up ways to get extra beer money. He spent as much of the war as possible drinking and dancing. When he reached his 80s, his daughter sat him down, recorded his stories and transcribed them. This is the dialogue between them and his personal account of the war.
