Official synopsis Publisher
ADOPTED UNDER MURKY CIRCUMSTANCES AND RAISED by a barmaid with fists fiercer than a prizefighter’s, Keith
Brown’s early years in post-war Essex were anything but idyllic. Sent to find his “real mother” with nothing but a suitcase and stubborn resilience, Keith carved his own path – through boxing rings, British Rail prank explosions, and near-death railway escapades.
At just fifteen, Keith joined the adult world via British Rail, then sought greater adventure – and a sharper uniform – in the Royal Signals. What followed was a whirlwind career spanning continents, from Cyprus to the Maldives, cable-jointing mishaps to unplanned explosions, swimming with jellyfish, and staring down Moray eels.
With humour, grit, and self-deprecating honesty, Keith shares candid tales of friendship, service, accidental heroism, and the absurdities of military life in the 1960s and beyond. If The Cap Fits isn’t just about the cap – it’s about surviving what’s under it.
