ABOUT

His first dive to his last dive, John has a very colourful perspective, of offshore working life. His first experience of civils diving, in black water, to his latest dive in the pristinely clear water of the Arabian gulf. All opinions are his own, all the ‘dits’ true, some surnames omitted, nicknames included, of friends and fellow divers around the world, who enjoyed some of the same jobs, and the same experiences, along this thirty-year voyage. 

ABOUT

The tales of war are best told by those who have fought in the battles, endured the elements, suffered through pain, and nurtured camaraderie with their brothers in peril.

THE FALKLANDS WAR: From Defeat to Victory is an amazing story told by one of the Royal Marines who was there.

See things at ground zero from under the green beret of John Alden as he describes this historic event. He was in the first battle that began at Government House. The British military was captured and forced to surrender.

As the world read the papers, the front page showed the infamous photo of John and his brothers in arms standing with their hands up as the Argentine soldiers ridiculed and belittled them.

This dark day in British history did not go unanswered when, days after, they sent more troops. Ultimately, John Alden and his fellow Royal Marines ended back at Government House ten weeks later. Only, this time, they flew the British flag in final victory.

This Marine also shares personal anecdotes of his hometown and does an amazing job of describing life in a small English village.

Hear the story like it has never been told before with nothing censored or sugar coated. Some might argue it is the best account of the Falklands War to date.

ABOUT

In the writing of this book it was my aim to bring some light to the very serious subject of the ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland, in particular a certain time , 1986. As a Royal Marine serving with 45 commando my experiences are written a rather narrow perspective, me being just a Marine on the ground, doing what I’m told to do. The stories or ‘Dits’ as we call them are all true accounts by myself, recalled from memories 35 years after the events.
My research involved the use of the internet by searching for certain dates when events coincided with my own recollections, my stories have been told over many times during the years as I’ve travelled the world mixing with likeminded and experienced former military people with similar experiences.
The reflective process has helped me in my personal development with the aim of letting out emotions which have been pent up in the dark recesses of my mind for all these years. I have learned a lot more about the ‘Troubles’ through my research , more than I ever knew when I patrolled the streets of West Belfast or crawled through the field of South Armagh.
The book takes the reader on a personal journey when I join the Royal Marines at the age of 16 years old to when I left ten years later in 1989 the year when I started my now 30 years offshore as a Commercial Diver, Supervisor and eventually Diving Superintendent.

ABOUT

Living the dream ” I gazed at the blue sea lapping onto the beach, less than ten feet away from the glass fronted tattoo parlour, the buzz of the needle gun brought back my attention to the job in hand. A beautiful girl lay on the shop floor. Covered with Thai cushions, she wanted a small piece of my artwork just to the left of her Vagina. She started to become aroused by the vibration of the gun, as my wrist rested on her pelvis to steady my hand.”
