A veteran of D-Day, Ron Davies joined the TA before war began and
was called up as a tank gunner or 'Bombardier' with the Essex
Yeomanry, but D-Day was his first experience of action. This book
follows the training and build-up to D-Day, covers the invasion
minute-by-minute, and carries on through the Allied Push through
France, Belgium and Holland. Ron's story continues with the
regiment's heartbreaking round of duty at Belsen and following that
their continuation to the Baltic Coast. After VE day, Ron and his
regiment were engaged in 'mopping up' groups of SS fanatics who
fought to the death. Ron Davies died in 2003 and this book has been
tied together by his son, William, who edited the diaries and has
included letters, documents and photographs. This is the gripping
story of 'every soldier', told in his own words.
