The Horatio Stubbs Trilogy comprises:
The Hand-Reared Boy (1970)
Readers of the Hand-Reared Boy will have no difficulty in remembering its hero, Horatio Stubbs. The time is now early 1940s, and Horatio is soldiering in The Royal Mendip Borderers. In due course his regiment is dispatched overseas to India to become part of the unforgettable forgotten army. The genteel skirmishes for women in the United Kingdom intensify into a desperate running battle to cope with the urgencies of randiness. Eventually the regiment is posted to the Burmese Front and plunged into the Battle of Kohima in the mountains of Assam. During the campaigns against the Japanese, the troops partake in various riotous sexual escapades with whores, ponces and gobble-wallahs. The author shows us, through the eyes of Horatio and his friends, the far-off days of the forties exactly as they were – heroic, bawdy, or downright bloody unspeakable.
A Soldier Erect (1971)
The lewd, crude hero of The Hand-Reared Boy, Horatio Stubbs, is on excellent form when his regiment is dispatched overseas to India to become part of the unforgettable Forgotten Army, where the main battle is with their irrepressible randiness. Eventually, the regiment is posted to the Burmese Front and plunged into the Battle of Kohima in the mountains of Assam. The campaigns against the Japanese are punctuated with riotous sexual jaunts, while the barrack-room life is side-splittingly coarse.
A Rude Awakening (1978)
In this powerful addition to the legend of a sex-prone sergeant, Horatio Stubbs finds himself in trouble with women – and not for the first time. However, quite uncommonly, Stubbs seems to be enjoying a period of success, with a bevy of eager women who all want a piece of him. The whoring, boozing and army horseplay of this novel take place in serious surroundings. The year is 1946, and British, Dutch, Indian, Japanese, Chinese and Indonesian forces confront each other for possession of the island of Sumatra.
