Über den Autor

Dr. Peter Terence Scott was born in Sydney, Australia and had a professional teaching career spanning over forty years; eight of these as a member of the Citizens' Military Forces or C.M.F. which later evolved into the Army Reserve. In some regards, his military career contained many of the events given in this book. Like Tom Shipley, he started his career as a Private soldier, having volunteered after being deferred from National Service. Later, he attended the Officer Cadet Training Unit and was Commissioned into the Infantry as a Second Lieutenant. During his military career, he also studied at university part time and obtained a Bachelor of Science degree and later Masters' Degrees in Science and Educational Administration and a Doctorate in Education. In 1988, he joined the Australian Naval Cadets and wore a Naval Lieutenant's uniform for twelve years. Trained in 'Tall Ships', he was Commanding Officer of Training Ship Magnus, Australian Naval Cadets.
