The Sheikh and the Dustbin - first UK edition

by George MacDonald Fraser

Third in the series of tales recounting the adventures of Private McAuslan, J., the Dirtiest Soldier of the World (alias the Tartan Caliban, or the Highland Division's answer to Peking Man). McAuslan's talent for the comic catastrophe is as sure as ever, waking happy memories of an Army life and characters that are fast fading away.  Very good book in a nice dust jacket.
