To Honorary Major of the 6th Ghurkha Brigade,
.............Peter O'Brien...................
..........Let no man be fooled...............
....The Little One is a man to be feared!....
Peter's eyes twinkled and in his mind he could see the parade ground with the ceremonial march past - with him, all of sixteen years old, fully kitted out in a Major's Uniform, taking the salute of the troops as they swung past the dais.
The music was in his ears as was the crunch of the marching feet and the orders from the Regimental Sergeant Major ringing out across the Parade Ground. What a proud, happy day that had been. The whole regiment knew his story and they were saluting his manhood, his courage and his bravery.
He moved into the main bedroom and knelt at the foot of the bed, overcome with the emotions of the evening.
As he recited the Lord's Prayer, that prayer from his childhood, he sought guidance in his winning of Jennifer. His emotions stretched to breaking point and he felt the presence of two people, one on each side, joining him in prayers.
On one side was the roughness of his father's uniform, on the other the sweet softness of his mother. His mind, unable to cope, allowed him to slip to the floor where he slept.

Purplefizzalmost 2 years agoMy FiL was a Major in the British Army, and I’ve been around Gurkha units from time to time during my time working with the Army, there is not a snowballs chance in hell of them giving a salute to a 16yr old adolescent in a uniform he couldn’t and didn’t earn. Look up what the Gurkhas have to go through in Nepal just to get a chance at a place in the U.K. forces, those guys are phenomenal and I won’t read more nonsense from you JAScooter.
WhoGivesAShitover 4 years agoThe story is very interesting and enjoyable. Both are badly damaged - one can guess that Jennifer was a sexual assault victim, but Peter’s youth was so dark that I can’t really suspect what he’d endured. They’re captivating characters, apparently each has to heal other... yet I suspect that their path is very rocky.
Coolati_Georgeover 16 years agoJA - You have got some readers offside.
Aren't you really trying? There are lots more to get upset.
Jennifer is unable to make up her mind about Peter's sexual preferences. Wonder how many out there have met a man who can ballet dance and then flatten some yokels?
Oh yes, sorry! That happens all the time. She is different but god is she fiery. Lovely!
Peter - well he is interested in Jennifer but why the hell doen't he pounce?
Hey wake up everyone this is a fictional novel read and enjoy. If you can't stand the heat keep out of the
kitchen.
Ghurkhas? Heh,you must have been to Minden Barracks or the barracks in Melaka.
Now your hero is reflecting your knowledge.
And I am hooked.
Love the descriptions - been there and done that (well sort of).
Anonymousover 16 years agolike your writing style but the characters are beyond silly, especially jennifer. peter is not the most rational person either. why don't they just sit down like adults? they behave as if they were awkward 15 year olds.
Nicholls9over 16 years ago. . . homosexuals. JAScooter has characterized Jennifer as extremely naive. So much so that she is incredibly annoying. She witnessed Peter beat up three thugs, converse in Cantonese, and acts with him in a play, yet she still deludes herself into thinking he's gay. If Jennifer's problems in her head did not make her so compatible with Peter (whose got problems of his own), I'd just prefer Peter forget anout her and move on. She could easily determine his sexual orientation by simply asking him. However, going by the title, these two are bound to get together.
