Product Description

Product Description
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.

About the Author
Ron Davies died three years ago and this book has been edited and tied together by his son, William. William, or Bill , lives in Essex.

5.0 out of 5 stars well worth a read, 5 Nov 2008
By D. Hussey "Boots" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
