He was in the Commandos, but did not serve overseas. These days he’s happily married with 4 children and 8 grandchildren. He still plies his trade operating a very small auto-body repair shop.
Reg is heavily involved in Rotary and has served as President of his local club twice as well as being involved at District level for over 8 years. In 2008 he was awarded “Paul Harris” recognition.
When it came to writing this book, he was greatly influenced by the life of Keith Payne VC, whom he met in the Commandos. As a non-combatant himself and with the storyline he’d chosen, Keith’s story, ”Where to for Valour,” by Stan Krasnoff, published by Shala Press, fitted the bill when it was necessary to describe the actions of a man in combat conditions.
He hastens to add that his main character in no way mirrors Keith who, was and is, a soldier’s soldier and a man of great integrity.view less
