In my young life, the onslaught was against me of becoming an adult from the day I was born on the 24th of January 1941. The Garmand torpedoed a ship in the harbour in Bridge Town, Barbados W I. I was less than a year old when that torpedoes where launched; I would have heard the Explosion. The odds were stacked well against me of making it into adult life. But as I am here, I know I've made it this far. I've been lucky, and I know my luck. But it wasn't luck alone that got me here. it was hard work and believing in myself and in others who I thought.
Food was scarce in Barbados when I was growing up due to the German blockade on the island. I was very thankful for the lack of food. it was when my upper body was too heavy for my knees, so they went inwards due to the weight. Still, I went on to do one of the most challenging courses for young men that men designed. I did P Com, and I passed with a few flying colours. I became a regular soldier in the British Army in 1960, having crossed the Atlantic to do just that. I became part of the rebuild. On the other hand, the immigrants of England, Scotland, and Wales thought that we had come to take what was theirs. But I can tell you we already had it taken from us; what was ours?Jumping out of an aeroplane was fun, but getting there was hard work. In my six years, I have jumped over Salisbury Plain in the day and at night and in the deserts of Shaza, Middle East. I was a UN soldier in Cyprus. I'm standing on a guard for one of its leaders. The 1960s was a healing time, but the wound was not healed.
