Of a more intimate Regimental Chronicle style than the work of Major Hastings, it pleases with the first-hand telling of the Regiment’s achievements narrated by seasoned officers who were in the thick of the fighting, from the dark days of the Defence of Calais in 1940, through the Western Desert and Tunisia, showing a reputation for close co-operation units, and on to North West Europe and the pursuit over the Rhine into the heart of Germany.
Written so shortly after the cessation of hostilities this account has an immediacy that modern histories lack.
