Wolstan Webb was a railway signals engineer, but one with an extraordinary, adventurous career. This, his memoirs, focus on his professional career and a lifetime connected with railways. He described his travels between 1938 and his retirement in 1968. These take him to Argentina and then to the US during the Second World War, where he provided liaison between the British and American Air Forces in the new development of new and secret weaponry, and then back to Argentina during the Peron regime. Later, he serves with the United Nations as adviser to the Iranian State Railways (and then Pakistan and India), and then later still, as a Senior Lecturer at the Railway Training Centre in Lahore.
