Synopsis: The autobiography of a young Cossack who eventually enlisted in the British Army's Rifle Brigade. The author retraces the violent and turbulent events of his early life in Russia, when his father was shot by his own soldiers, and he as a White Russian volunteer crossed Siberia to China under conditions of extreme hardship. After the disintegration of the anti-Bolshevik move the author journeyed through China, selling beads made from hardened bread before reaching Hong Kong, being shipped to Siam by a friendly Norwegian Skipper, where he conceived the idea of a world tour by cycle with a camera selling photographs on the way. He travelled through Malaysian and India, Persia, Iraq, Syria and Palestine; by sea to France; by road through Italy, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Belgium, and eventually by sea to England. After AAP service in 1939, Soboleff enlisted in the Rifle Brigade, was commissioned and served in North Africa before being transferred to Military Public Relations and working in Palestine Normandy and occupied Germany. At the close of world War Two the author became a physiotherapist in Dorset. Condition dust jacket damaged and repaired: crease to upper corner page 53: hardcover and contents clean and good
