We have had some tremendous comments from people who have read the book, below are a selection of these comments:

So well written that it makes it easy to read and enjoy…

…I was both absorbed and very moved…

…I have never read such a totally frank insight into army family life…you share your experiences so generously…

…the detail and descriptions are so clear and colourful

The Loan Soldier is compelling on so many levels

Good simple descriptions are interlaced with military anecdotes and meeting with interesting people, from Bedouin in desert tents to kings in their palaces

… a fantastic read; I could not put it down

Join Col (Retd) Bruce Duncan MBE, the author, to hear about his fascinating military career based on loan service in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, 25 years after he and his family were caught up in Iraq’s brutal invasion and occupation of Kuwait in 1990.
This talk includes a first hand account of a British military family’s experience in occupied Kuwait and is delivered on the eve of unveiling of the Gulf War (1990/1) Memorial dedicated to the 47 personnel who died in the conflict to drive the Iraqis out of Kuwait.
