I too loved John Masters' books, having first come across them in the library at RAF Changi.
One small point; his 3 autobiographies are 'Bugles and a tiger', 'The road past Mandalay' and lastly 'Pilgrim Son', the latter being the account of his life after resigning his commission and moving to the USA, where he eventually made his living as a writer. His step-son is General Sir Michael Rose.
Max Hastings in his book 'Warriors' included Masters as one of the 15 men he wrote short histories about; Guy Gibson was another.
'Quartered safe out here'
My favourite part of Fraser's book is his 'rant' about what his comrades were voting for, in the 1945 election. He of course, at 19, despite fighting in Burma and leading a section, was too young to vote.
