"Foreword by Snr Asst. Commissioner John Cannon DFC., BSA Ploice ( ret'd)

This is a refreshing and descriptive autobiography - a tale well told by a Rhodesian ( although born in Scotland, came with his parents to Southern Rhodesia at the age of two) of life in rural Rhodesia from the beginning of the 1930s, early childhood and schooling ( reminiscent of "Tom Brown's Schooldays") - young Ian Bryson, known hereafter as "Brick" appeared to have been a very adventurous young lad with his fair share of juvenile problems.

He was still at school when the 1939-45 war broke out, but at the age of seventeen he volunteered for the Royal Navy and was called up just after he turned eighteen. His life on board ship and the many incidents and actions in the far eastern waters against the Japanese are very descriptively portrayed.

Returning from the war Brick commenced a forestry/farming career, which in those days meant a hard outdoor life with few creature comforts, yet his description of life in the bush is very light-hearted and full of amusing anecdotes.

The terrorist incursions which commenced in 1963/64 came initially from the north ( Zambia) and men such as Brick, who were members of the Police Field Reserve, were in the forefront of operations against infiltrations.

Brick's capabilities in anti-terrorist operations quickly brought recognition and he was appointed senior instructor to Police Anti-terrorist units. It was at this time that he that i first met Brick and his wife Audrey, who was also a member of the Police Reserve. For the next fifteen years Brick was continuously involved in what had become a geurilla war, by then he was a full time police inspector and finally completed twenty two years service."
