About this title
Synopsis
Owen Baptiste signed the paper in 1969 and has kept to it for fifty-four years, which he would tell you is not difficult. You simply do not say the thing. There is no trick to it. The difficulty arrives in the form of a pension assessment, a hip that no longer works, and a clerk explaining kindly that the injury is recorded as having occurred at a base where Sergeant Baptiste was never posted. There were nine of them. He has an address for four.
Who this is about
Sergeant Owen Baptiste ran a wire operation for eleven months that officially did not take place.
What goes wrong
He applies for a disability pension and is told the injury occurred in a place he was never posted.
What's at stake
Proving it happened means describing an operation he gave his word he never would.
Why it keeps going
Each episode he finds one more man from the unit, and each of them has made a different peace with it.
Takeaway
A secret kept honorably still costs the man who keeps it, and nobody itemises that.
