"Wrong Again Dan!" is the first volume of autobiography by Dan Raschen. It takes Dan's Army career up to the age of twenty-two in 1947. Few soldiers can have been keener, but many were more successful.

Born in 1925, Dan Raschen was in the British Army for thirty-three years and retired with the rank of Colonel. After Wellington College and Peterhouse, Cambridge his service in the Royal Engineers took him, at the end of World War II, first to a new campaign in the East Indies then back to India for the country's partition from Parkistan.

Even if lighthearted, these stories are historically interesting. In Sumatra, the reliance which the British placed upon the Japanese, leaving them armed nearly a year after the war ended, may not previously have been appreciated. Dan's was the last generation of British officers to serve with the old Indian Army in which, from his viewpoint, the units of Hindus, Mussulmans and Sikhs were splendidly integrated.

The book includes a foreword by General Sir Hugh Beach, GBE, KCB, MC, DL, Chief Royal Engineer.
