Onward Virgin Soldiers [Hardcover]

Leslie Thomas (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 1971

Bursting with life and bawdy humour, National Serviceman Brigg is now an army sergeant defending the Empire in the beds and bars of Hong Kong. Peace-time diversions include sensual fireworks with a pair of delicious Chinese twins and a tender, erotic affair with the lonely wife of an American serviceman.
