"Send Port & Pyjamas!" is the second volume of autobiography by Dan Raschen. It takes Dan's Army career up to the age of twenty-seven in 1953.

After completing his degree at Cambridge, Dan volunteered for the Korean War, where the pheasant shooting was of high repute. Because the pheasants lived in or near minefields, which were Dan's particular concern, he managed to combine pleasure with eighteen months of war.

"Send Port and Pyjamas!" was Dan Raschen's message when he was briefly detained in a MASH in Korea. The bottle arrived but without a corkscrew. This is a light-hearted autobiography, which concentrates on the happier aspects of soldiering. The undertones, however, are serious, and these reminiscences make an interesting and wide ranging contribution to the history of the time.

Several quotations from the book were included in a report commissioned by the
