The personal story of a British tank sergeant's war, from the fall
of France in 1940, through the bloody campaigns against Rommel's
forces in North Africa, the hard-fought drive up Italy, D-Day and
the battles for France and the low countries, and the invasion of
the German heartland itself.
George Forty, himself a veteran of the Korean War, uses Jack
Wardrop's war diary as the basis for this firsthand tale of
bravery. For the first time in its entirety, Jack Wardrop's tale is
told, from defeat in 1940 to ultimate victory in 1945. Sadly,
despite his bravery, Jack Wardrop was killed in action during the
dying days of the war. His diary is a reminder of the vicious
fighting his, and the other tanks of 5 Royal Tank Regiment, took
part in and it gives a unique personal insight into the Second
World War.
Wardrop's detailed record of each battle and action was compiled
at the time and it has long remained in the possession of his
mother, who was sent extracts from time to time as the war
progressed. His diary serves as an exciting battlefield record of
5RTR.
