"Still In The Game - Travels over Seventy Years" - By Antony Hornyold
This book is about the travels of Antony Hornyold (A49).
In his childhood in the
thirties one third of the world was a reassuring red. Subsequently the
Second World War took him to South Africa, National Service to Sierra
Leone and the Foreign Office to the Middle East, Ghana and Pakistan. He
was in Baghdad in 1958 when the young King Faisal was assassinated and
the British Embassy sacked by the mob.
Hornyold grew up on Kipling and
the Great Game which only ended with the Anglo-Russian agreement of
1907. A hundred years on British soldiers are back in Afghanistan
fighting the descendants of the same tribesmen they fought in the
nineteenth century.
