{Dоwnlоаd/Rеаd PDF Bооk} Spike Milligan: the Complete War Memoirs SPIKE MILLIGAN: THE COMPLETE WAR MEMOIRS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Spike Milligan | none | 26 May 2016 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780241258125 | English | London, United Kingdom Adolf Hitler by Spike Milligan - Penguin Books Australia The seven-volume work covers his years of service from to They tell the narrative of his call up, service in the war, first breakdown, his travels in Italy as an entertainer, and his return to the United Kingdom. The novels are presented in an unusual format expected of such an eccentric character as Milligan. He mixes in performance programs, rough sketches, letter, excerpts from diaries, contemporary photography, and narrative anecdotes accompanied by fake memoranda and comic sketches from top ranking Nazi officials. Nonetheless, he asserted that all the salient facts in the novels were true and that the death of his friends and colleagues would live forever in his mind even if he tried to make light of it. Part One documents the young Milligan at home with his family when Chamberlain announces that Britain was going to war with the Germans. Milligan soon receives a letter with the initials O. S that he does not open. After a series of letter marked urgent makes its way to his house, he opens one to find an invitation to go fight in the war. After the initial setback where he slips a disk in his back, he is on his way to war with the 56th Heavy Regiment where he is immediately identified as a troublemaker. He is disrespectful in speech and calls his commanding officer names in private. Having nothing better to do he spends most of his time setting up musical shows and practicing as a gunner as his regiment is not called up for duty for a year. What follows is a series of diary notations about what was allowed with regard to communication about their ammo, guns, and troop number until they dock in Algeria. This was the time of the invasion of Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco, otherwise known as Operation Torch. Now ranking as gunner, his first action in war is to swear that he hopes a plane flying above would crash which it instantly does. Now staying in a variety of accommodations and eating army food, Milligan is still as mischievous as ever and sneaks food to an Arab with a struggling family nearby. It was during this time that he meets Harry Secombe, who would later become one of the goons. Milligan is charged with the laying of phone lines and proceeds to make a lot of noise that could attract the enemy, much to the consternation of his commanding officer. With limited time for playing, Spike and his friends take over a bombed out floor and practice during the evenings. They would sing slushy, nostalgic moon June love songs and entertain their regiment until the army took Tunis.

If you would like a piece of knotted string, send three rust- proof shillings to "Honest" Wal Greenslade of Weybridge. Ta. Seagoon: Hello folks of world! Hello folks of world! And in that order!

And if you'll forgive me, this is a most illustrious occasion. We're are playing this Goon Show, the first since 1960, in front of a very distinguished audience. And I am very glad to see you and I hope you have a wonderful time. First of all the "Old Comrades", obviously played by the Wally Stott Orchestra. Wally Stott, I'm afraid is not able to be with us this evening, so the orchestra is conducted by Peter Knight. AUDIENCE APPLAUSE BROWELL: Well, when Con Mahoney, who's head of my department, said "Can you get these bods together?", it was a bit of a job. But I got the principals. And I found Ray Ellington. But Max was a bit more difficult because he's in America. But the BBC dug deep into its pocket… AUDIENCE APPLAUSE BROWELL: …which was most unusual. But here, from America, is Max Geldray. AUDIENCE APPLAUSE BROWELL: Ha, ha. Well, we didn't have quite so far to go for our colour sergeant. Who else but Ray Ellington! AUDIENCE APPLAUSE BROWELL: Now it's absolutely fascinating because I am so delighted than nearly every one of the old musicians… Old? …have returned for tonight.
