Redcap is a 2006 novel by the author Brian Callison. Set over a span of 10 years from 1957 to 1967 it follows the rather unfortunate career of the protagonist, one Staff Sergeant Walker of the Royal Military Police commencing in the Cypriot conflict between EOKA and British Personnel and then skipping 10 years to Walker's final month prior to retirement whilst he is stationed in Berlin.
The novel differs strongly from Callison's other works in that it no way relates to the Navy; there are no nautical references whatsoever throughout the entirety of the story, most of the characters travel by means of Land Rover.
