Hi all,

Further to speak to Pete I would like to share with you the details of my new book. After writing 'Litani River' about No.11 (Scottish) Commando, I decided to try my hand at a WW2 novel about the Commandos and I'm pleased to say that 'The Pinch' was released two weeks ago. The story is based around the No.3 Commando's raid on Vaagso and includes a number of well known commandos that you will all be familiar with. The plot, however, is fictional and is about a small section of handpicked men who undertake a special mission under the command of Lieutenant Robert Bolt and Corporal Sam Butcher. The book has been described as an action packed thriller, but has a historical fiction feel about it especially with regards to the commando training they undertake before the raid. The book is available on amazon etc or via my website www.ianmcharg.co.uk where there is more information on the book. If anyone would be interested in reviewing it please let me know.

Best wishes

Ian McHarg

Ian, I like the names given to the two characters in you new novel ...
Lieutenant Robert Bolt and Corporal Sam Butcher.

Pete Rogers, son of LSgt Joe Rogers MM & nephew of TSM Ken McAllister. Both No2 Commando.
God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.

Thanks Pete. Yes a bit of commando humour! and as everyone knows a play on Winston Churchill's famous 'Butcher and Bolt Policy'
