Our homage to Uncle Arthur on the battlefields of Normandy

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In June 1944, the Normandy Landings, or D-Day, took place. A historic day that laid the foundations of the Allied victory in World War Two, but which was a truly horrific and harrowing experience for those men who lived through it, and the many men whose lives were lost on the beaches of and the seas around Northern France. Emotional and thought-provoking, but with some witty interludes, Our Trip To The Battlefields provides us with the author's own personal experiences and thoughts as he visits many of the renowned sites that were made famous by the landings. His trip retraces the footsteps of his beloved Uncle Arthur, a heroic survivor of that momentous, fateful, and traumatic day, who is at the core of this account and who, in his own words, was '... just doing my duty ...'.
