This classic WWII memoir by the distinguished commander of the 1st Battalion Gordon Highlanders recounts their harrowing exploits in Normandy. As part of the 51st Highland Division, the 1st Battalion, Gordon Highlanders, part of the 51st Highlander Division took part in the D-Day invasion of Normandy. By the time the British infantry unit reached Bremen the following April, after ten months continuous fighting, the 1st Gordons had lost 75 officers and 986 men in battle.
So few got through, but amongst them was Martin Lindsay. Lindsay, an author and former polar explorer, commanded the Battalion in 16 operations. Wounded in battle and mentioned in dispatches, he was awarded the DSO. His epic story takes readers inside the life of a regimental officer and along the harrowing path to victory. Through his vivid recounting, we follow the 1st Gordons from Normandy through the orchards of Calvados and across the mudflats of Holland, along the Ardennes, the Siegfried Line Break-through, the crossing of the Rhine, and on to the heart of Germany
