Wounded no fewer than eleven times across multiple conflicts — from the Boer War and World War One to World War Two — Carton de Wiart presents his own astonishing story with characteristic modesty, dry wit, and an unshakeable sense of adventure. The narrative carries a foreword by Winston S. Churchill, who describes its author as a model of chivalry and honour whose deeds and thoughts will command the interest of all men and women with patriotic spirit. Written in a brisk and engaging tone that mirrors its subject's fearless temperament, this memoir stands as a testament to an almost impossibly eventful life lived entirely in service to duty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888018698459,"sku":"2026100006690-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4e774f81-ed12-4e5e-8591-6dcaa8088636.png?v=1781753046","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006690-secondhand-happy-odyssey-the-memoirs-of-lt-gen-sir-adrian-carton-de-wiart","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
