This is the story of a gay National Serviceman (an Army conscript) during the South African / Angolan war in the 1980s.
The first few chapters deal with the main character's basic training. After Basics he is sent to the border (that is what we called Namibia), where he experiences his first firefight.
He falls in love during basics. During the firefight they both realise the depth of their love for each other.
