He Who Drinks The Water Of The Nile...Shall Return (1993) By Peter Poulos
 
Reminiscences of an old soldier who enlisted in the army at the start of the second world war and served in the Middle East, Darwin and New Guinea.
 
Peter " Barbed Wire " Poulos grew up in Cairns and as a nineteen year old saw service in the Middle east, Darwin and New Guinea. 
 
You will laugh at his romantic encounters and share his views on the futility of war and the politicians who made it. He remembers the various camps, the troop trains, the troop ships, the medicos, The "Skulls" the buddies, the swy games, the shortage of Moola, M7V. Bully beef, scrounging, then back to "civvy street" and finding peace time relaxation at the local water hole.
 
There has been no censorship of his army language and terms which makes it a colourful book to be eagerly sought after by many of the cobbers of 1993 who return for trek back.
