Swearing Like A Trooper by M Trow

How soldiers and civilians alike swore and cursed their way through the second world war, from sexual euphemism to rude songs and insults.
M .J.Trow bills himself in many of his books as the only Welshman who cannot sing or play rugby. A military historian by training, graduating from King's College, London and Cambridge, Trow has earned a reputation as a scholar who peels away legend to reveal the truth. In topics as diverse as Kit Marlowe, Vlad the Impaler, Boudicca and Cnut, he succeeds in bringing to life not only the central characters, but their times. He lives with his wife, also a writer, in a Victorian vicarage in the Isle of Wight.
