Introduction by - Spike Milligan

I'm not going to try to be funny about Giles - because that would invoke disaster. I can't compete with the devastating humour he produces, which embraces all strata of life, and makes them hilarious. What endears me most to him is his gentleness, yet he packs a bigger punch with a feather than our customary satirists do with a sledge hammer.

During the war his cartoons (drawn under active service conditions) played no little part in boosting my morale.
