Royalties from this book are being donated to the British Forces Foundation. We are delighted to be associated with such a worthwhile charity. The BFF is Jim Davidson's brainchild and its aim is to encourage top class performers from showbusiness to go around the world to entertain Servicemen and women in all three services on operations.

Davidson says: 'When young soldiers, sailors and airmen are a long way from home, doing their bit for their country, they like to know that people care back here. The appearance of a well known entertainer helps
give them that reassurance - as well as cheering them up, I hope!'
