ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
As ever, this book has not been a solo effort, so I would like to thank the following:
Major-General Zac Stenning OBE, Commandant of Sandhurst, for suggesting the book in the first place.
Colonel Lucy Giles for reaching out to the Sandhurst Sisterhood Facebook site to suggest female alumnae
Dr Anthony Morton and Dr Seb Puncher from the Sandhurst Collection for providing access to the Sandhurst files and for proofreading the initial draft.
The staff and trustees of Sandhurst Trust for giving me the time to write this book, covering for me while I did so, and for authorising the funds to produce the book.
My son, Captain Connor Kent-Payne, Army Air Corps, for suggesting several of the subjects and acting as an unofficial proofreader.
David Higgs for proofreading the book and correcting my truly atrocious English. You truly deserve a medal.
Crest Publishing, and Jayne Creer, in particular, for publishing the book to a very tight deadline.
Most importantly, my long-suffering wife, Dawn, who, having had eight year’s separation during my operational tours when I was serving, put up with another few weeks while I decanted to our house in France to write this book.
Finally, thank you to anyone who buys this book and therefore supports the Sandhurst Trust and today’s and future generations of officer cadets.
