"LET THE OTHER BLOKE BE THE MUG"
While his 8th Army mates fought and died under the glaring desert sun of North Africa, Private Sam Deacon was content to drive a truck. Not for him the blood and guts of battle, the risk of stopping a German bullet: "Let the other bloke be the mug," was his motto.
Then he met one of the 'other blokes' who wasn't a mug - a hero who rammed those words down Deacon's throat till he squealed for mercy - and found himself a hero too.
