Author Bio:
David Roche’s origins trace back to a British Military Hospital in Kluang, Malaysia, where he entered the world in 1964. His father, John Roche, dedicated an impressive 34 years of service to the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), attaining the esteemed rank of Major. Likewise, his mother, Audrey, contributed as a devoted nurse in the Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps.
Inevitably, it seemed, David followed in his parents’ footsteps, enlisting in the British Army at a mere seventeen years of age. For thirteen years, he dutifully served in the RAMC as a Combat Medical Technician, ascending to the respected position of Staff Sergeant before embarking on a new chapter beyond the military’s embrace.
The seed of this book took root in David’s mind back in 1982, during his tenure at Glyn Hughes Barracks. Even then, the camp’s rich history and evocative setting stirred his imagination, sowing the seeds for a fiction novel of his own creation.
Over the past twenty-three years, David has honed his skills as a Digital Marketing specialist, now steering the helm of his own agency, Pixelghetto Marketing, nestled in the heart of Warsaw, Poland. At home, he shares his life with his devoted partner, Joanna, and their fourteen-month-old son, Leo.
