Written by Raymond Mitchell.
Stock no. 1829045
Published by Leo Cooper. 1st 2001. Nearly fine condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.

The author served as a Despatch Rider (DR) with 41 Royal Marines Commando throughout the North-West Europe campaign. Fortunately, he considered his position in the military hierarchy as too low for the ban on keeping diaries to apply to him. 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.
