Milligan's War: The Selected War Memoirs of Spike Milligan
At Victoria Station the RTO gave me a travel warrent, a white feather and a picture of Hitler marked 'This is your enemy'. I searched every compartment, but he wasn't on the train...
And so, in this less than auspicious manner, began Milligan's War, the best-documented, most scurrilous and certainly the most entertaining military career ever embarked upon by any Bombardier of the 56th Heavy Regiment, Royal Artillary.
Adolf Hitler, Monty, Mussolini, Rommel (who?) - all played their modest roles in the Second World War and the shaping of human destiny, but we all know where the real action was...
