That's a great book - it's been serialised on BBC Radio 7 and it really brings home the experience of war in the East from the viewpoint of the man on the ground. I like GMF's "Flashman" books too.

Subject: Re: [DucatiST] Pialla: British Army Mug
Hey Jan, thanks for the response, I've been looking around myself and found a repo
version of the Brown Mug issued then. Also found a fellow that has one on ebay, a white one, seems the change from white to brown took place from 41 to 45. Anyway, no where have I found it called a pialla. But, pialla is what those boys in Burma called it. I'm basing this on the book written by a 'good Scotsman; George McDonald Fraser. Name of the book is "Quartered Safe Out Here".
I'm hoping to hear back from that other Englisht....er British Gent.
