Memoirs of a Private Diplomat,
By A Customer
This review is from: Journey of a Lifetime: Story of the Ten Tors and Commonwealth Expeditions (Hardcover)
Lionel Gregory, MBE, is the founder of the Commonwealth Expeditions, (Comex) which carried thousands of young people from England to India and into Zambia between the mid 1960s and the early 1980s. Gregory's "army for peace" earned the support of world leaders, and the patronage of Prince Philip. In 1995, the Commonwealth Heads of Government adopted the Expedition's "Green Pennant" as an official Commonwealth award for "adventurous activities across the barriers which divide people." "Greg" also founded Ten Tors, a programme for Junior Leaders in Britain. A songwriter, adventurer, and private diplomat, he is the author of three previous books about Comex.This personal memoir begins with boyhood reminiscences of British India. It includes sensitive, gently humorous tales of jungle campaigns and encounters with bandits . Gregory tells of solitary travels across the Asian Highway, and of the people, great and humble, met on the "long dusty road'. The story ends in Edinburgh, with the Green Pennant awards. This book will have special appeal to the thousands of Comex and Ten Tors "old hands" scattered across the globe.
