Biography
Hi
Peter Knowles born 1949 in Barnsley,Yorkshire England and is still living there.
I joined the British Army way back in 1966 at the age of just seventeen, served eight years, first with The York & Lancaster Regiment in Cyprus then with The Duke of Wellingtons Regiment in Hong Kong. never really achieved anything worth while, so I decided to write a book about it Once Upon a Time in the Army, read it, it will make you laugh if nothing else.
Tried many jobs since then, you name it I have probably done it.
Then twenty plus years ago I picked up a joblot of cheap books and became a Bookseller, now recently retired I finally became an Author, not sure whether that was a good idea or just a natural progression from one to the other.
Read my books and let me know.

What a lovely story. I'll never view toys and such things on graves in the same light ever again.
