  • More about In Service: The Story of a Welsh Guardsman

In Service is a memoir that chronicles one man's journey into manhood, including military training, intelligence work, and serving in Northern Ireland. It offers insightful observations on the reality of service and the bond of common experience shared with men who served.

Format: Paperback / softback
Publication date: 27 April 2023
Publisher: The History Press Ltd


In Service is a captivating tale of one individual's journey into adulthood, culminating in his deployment to the war-torn theater. Along the way, the protagonist embarks on a remarkable odyssey, encompassing a diverse range of experiences and encounters. From his military training at the Guards Depot to participating in Trooping the Colour, from academic struggles to intelligence work in Northern Ireland, from assisting Rudolf Hess in an ambulance to being entrusted with capturing the Queen's portrait, every step of the journey is vividly portrayed by Tim Rees.

What sets this narrative apart is Rees' ability to infuse each experience with profound and often quirky observations, providing the reader with a captivating glimpse into the sometimes humorous, often arduous, and, regrettably, brutal realities of service. However, what truly resonates with the reader is the profound bond of common experience that Rees shares with the men he served alongside in the army. This bond, in his opinion, is a testament to the enduring human spirit and a connection that is in danger of being lost in the modern age.

Through his vivid storytelling, Tim Rees invites us to reflect on the sacrifices and hardships endured by those who have served in the military, as well as the profound impact that their experiences have on their lives and the communities they belong to. In Service is a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the bonds of common experience that connect us across generations.
