They belonged to the Queen and took their orders from Mrs. Thatcher.
It was their war. They were the modern �Tommy Atkins�.
Belfast, late 1980s.
It was a war of routines, of infrequent action and relentless patrolling. The battlefield was the streets of Belfast and the enemy lived in their midst, disguised as ordinary folk. Gone were the riots and the gun battles and in their place the soldiers pounded the roads, the alleys and the avenues to demonstrate that the rule of law held firm.
They worked in sections of eight... For this was a corporal's war.
The troops patrolled and their enemies planned. And every now and again a plan became an attack...
David Roy was born in Bangor, Northern Ireland in the mid '60s. After a number of years in the army he left a life in uniform to read for a degree, ultimately qualifying as a secondary school teacher.
He is the author of many books, the first written in 1994 as an account of his service in the first Gulf War. His book 'The Lost Man', the first of his Ted Dexter adventures, featured on ITV's 'The Alan Titchmarsh Show' where it was shortlisted in The People's Novelist competition.
