‘Indebted’ By Col 'Sketchy Moyle' - Signed
‘If I could bottle ‘essence of Moyle’, I would inoculate every Army recruit with it on Day 1. They’d get courage in abundance, wisdom, shrewdness, toughness leavened by compassion and endless good humour.’
-26th Australian Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (retd), one time Chief of the Australian Defence Force.
Col “Sketchy” Moyle’s memoir, Indebted, is a true account told with sharp wit and the easy humour of an all-round fantastic bloke. Beginning as a young reinforcement in Vietnam – remembered by then-Platoon Commander Peter Cosgrove, who contributes the foreword – Moyle recounts eighteen months on operations between 1969 and 1971, followed by the gruelling SAS selection course and decades of service with both the SAS and Commandos until 2015.
With honesty, warmth, and a soldier’s humour, he reflects on the values forged through hardship, the courage of his late wife Noeleen, and the experiences that made him, in his words, a “half-reasonable soldier.” Veterans and aspiring recruits alike will gain insight into the demands of soldiering and the endurance required to serve with the SAS.
