The Major
Recent Articles
After an adolescence attending several well-known private schools where he was flogged for gross cheek, Nigel Smythe-Brown was rebuffed by every known institution of higher learning and so joined his father's regiment, the Queen's Own Rifles.
He went on to be arrested by the Provost Corps for non-payment of mess dues, so his father was forced to raise his rank to Major in order to keep him out of chains.
His writing career began at the regimental newspaper; for inexplicable reasons his column became quite popular and he enjoyed his time there until the lawsuits began after an ill-advised expose about the regimental padre and some missing sherry.
In the fullness of time (one week later) he arrived in Victoria with his wife Kitty. He describes himself as a boulevardier, diarist, man about town and cat-hater of the first order.
