This is a true story about a man who was born at the outbreak of the First World War, and who served in Italy during the Second World War. The story kicks off at the beginning of the First World War. George lives a wonderful life in the country next to a small farm, Meikle Dripps, in Scotland. Like all young men he rejoices when the jazz age comes about, and at this point he starts work in a newspaper office in town. Unfortunately in 1936 he falls ill and is paid off. Thankfully he recovers and just before the outbreak of the Second World War he gets a job in an industrial factory on the south side of Glasgow. This however keeps him back from going to war and doing his bit: for the factory starts to make components for aircraft. There was never a conflict with his Christian belief; he felt that the country had to fight for freedom. George like everyone else in the village is astounded when the Deputy Fuhrer, Rudolf Hess, crashes his plane just up the road from them. In 1943 George is finally released from the factory, and he joins the Scots Guards. He along with many others in 1944 is posted overseas. He fights in Italy: Monte Cassino, Agenta Gap, the Apennine mountains. After the war is over he guards the woman who shot the brigadier at Pola, Maria Pasquinelli. Then just before he is demobbed he has the great honour of serving as the senior sergeant on the Royal Guard at Windsor Castle. This is a true story drawn from diaries, and from the man himself: Sergeant Jiggy.

J.A.W.'s Publishing

Luck? Skill? Or Just Stupidly? (Can We Ever Tell) is the fourth book in a series of family-style outdoor tales written by a retired Michigan game warden. Sgt. John A. Walker wanted to start a scholarship program so he wrote his first book titled, A Deer Gets Revenge, followed by A Bucket of Bones, and From The Land Where BIG Fish Live. In the first few years these books were out Sgt. Walker had to self-publish over 30,000 books. One of the most amazing things is how these books have opened the opportunity for Sgt. Walker to speak at banquets and seminars on the family values of hunting and fishing.

Humor

If you like a little humor, a little history, and some good backwoods tales you will enjoy this book by Sgt. Walker, author and banquet speaker. 
In this world, times are changing so fast that it is hard to believe what so many of those old time game wardens lived through. In this book, you will travel back to the first part of the last century to spend time with the game wardens of that era. 
You will also read some tales which are hard to believe really took place. As the author says, "You would not believe in your wildest dreams that some of these tales are really true. But they all are." 
There is also an old game warden's philosophy on life and how it has changed and how it should scare those that love the great outdoors. 
He also places a warning that a game warden's humor is addictive and reading one of the "Tales from a Game Warden" books quickly leads to seeking a complete collection of these nine books.
