' It could only have happened in the Army. After a desert skirmish I had to go to hospital, and when I was convalescing there appeared, in the orders of the day, a request for men who knew anything about vegetables to report for special duty. Three days later Corporal Murray Smith was on his way to the Lebanese frontier with authority to acquire or reject the potato crop of an entire nation.'
