In Ian Hamilton's (ughh) `biography' of JDS, he mentions that Sergeant X's
army number  in the story was the same as JDS's in real life. Also, JDS was
in that area at that time of the war, and also had a nervous breakdown
after the war.

Shame on you! (: Lewis Carroll wrote Alice, CS Lewis wrote the Narnia
Chronicles.
