Souls Run Wild
The Untold Journey of a Soldier Through War, & Determined Survival
Belfast greeted him with cold mist and sharper realities. From those docks to shadowed border roads, David Payne lived every step in the thick of danger. It is a story of survival, of choices made when time was short, and of carrying on when the cost was heavy.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Souls Run Wild
Souls Run Wild pulls you straight into the days when Northern Ireland was on edge and every street corner could change a life. David Payne arrived in 1976, a soldier stepping into a place where tension hummed under every breath. He writes not with borrowed tales, but from the weight of moments lived, commanding men, watching every move, and learning fast that trust came slow. His account shows the pull between duty and self-preservation, the rare bonds formed under pressure, and the quiet truths found in the middle of noise. These pages are not dressed for drama. They carry the grit, the silences, and the raw measure of what it meant to serve when tomorrow was never promised.
