The author served as a Despatch Rider (DR) with 41 Royal Marines Commando throughout the North-West Europe campaign.

As a result, this book is both an accurate and atmospheric record of one man's war seen from an unusual perspective. Green cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. xvii and 234 pages including index. ISBN: 085052797X. A lovely copy. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly scuffed.
