The daily main event consisted of a few of the "9" huddling together on the warm sand of the desert evening, lit by fire light, sun setting and having eaten Compo or MRE. Each detachment of three men had a warrior pet. Call sign A10 had "Bob" a massive black Beatle measuring 3 inches or so from pincers to tail. Bob was covered in small white dots and looked like a cross between a giant stag Beatle and a lady bird. Bob was one fearless warrior and pretty much indestructible. So Call sign A20 and A30 scoured the desert daily for animal and insect to challenge Bob for supremacy. On which these gladiatorial battle would have our desert currency wagered. Great fun for the "9" in the evening before radio shift change or bed. Not so for the dozens of challengers that were cleared out of the arena like a scene from "the #life of Brian" (or if your not a soldier) "Ben Hur"

To Murder Or Not Introduction. They considered themselves normal, born of normal parents, lived normal childhoods, had normal adventures, had normal heartache etc. Why then did nine men decide murder was the only way. After all they are all "normal" . They all agreed the murder had to take place, it was the only way, the only solution. What would it take for a "normal" group of young men to agree to take another persons #life. Most would imagine the circumstances to be unbearable or the person to be murdered must have committed a heinous act upon the murderers. Maybe "An eye for an eye" was the major reason. In 1990 9 men aged between 18 and 27 planned over a 3 week period to ambush, murder and hide all traces of the crime. The plot, as always they do, went wrong and spiralled out of control to the point where friends became enemies and animal instinct took over. There were no winners just heartache and misery for #life........... Do we want to hear how this amazing story unfolds .
