Roy Oram’s life was an astonishing journey that took him from Victorian London, through the battlefields of the First World War, post-Revolution Russia, India under the British Raj, China, British Mandate Palestine, Egypt and Europe during the Second World War, and back to post-war Britain.

Having qualified as a doctor during the First World War, Oram started his career in uniform, first with the Royal Navy and then with the Army. At the end of the War he stayed on with the Royal Army Medical Corps until he retired forty years later as a Brigadier.

Through amusing observation and anecdote, Oram gives a highly personal insider’s account of life as one of the millions of individuals who chose a life in service during the rise and demise of the British Empire, and through two World Wars. Constantly on the move, facing new challenges, he brings alive those turbulent decades, from the 1890s to the 1950s, that shaped our own world.
