A veteran of D-Day, Ron Davies joined the TA before war began and was called up as a tank gunner or 'Bombardier' with the Essex Yeomanry, but D-Day was his first experience of action. This book follows the training and build-up to D-Day, covers the invasion minute-by-minute, carries on through the Allied Push through France, Belgium and Holland. Rons story continues with the regiment's heartbreaking round of duty at Belsen and following that their continuation to the Baltic Coast. After VE day, Ron and his regiment were engaged in 'mopping up' groups of SS fanatics who fought to the death.

By D. Hussey
Format:Paperback
Obviously I have a family bias ;) but even so the great thing with this book is it gives an insight in what the war would have been like for you or I. It's focused on the people and the actually living through the war, rather than being just about the fighting.
