Jim Selway was commissioned into the 1st Royal Tank Regiment (1RTR) in 1949 where he was able to learn from a cadre of highly experienced officers and soldiers who had fought in the 2nd World War. Originally posted to Germany he served with regular and national servicemen before being deployed to the Korean War. Following Korea and a posting to the Canal Zone he joined 3RTR and served in Germany, Britain and Norway where he commanded an armoured warfare unit. He left the Army in 1960 and ran businesses in London and the Middle East until the Pandemic forced retirement on him. He now lives with his wife outside Bath in England and near his children and grandchildren. He is currently working on an anthology of courage from the Korean War which will draw on the experiences and contacts of fellow veterans from this ‘Forgotten’ war in order to counter the fading of memory regarding this hugely important Cold War conflict.
