Major General Rea Leakey was one of the Royal Tank Regiment's
greatest heroes of the Second World War. As a young tank commander,
he fought Rommel's Afrika Korps in the Western Desert of Egypt,
before becoming trapped for six months in the siege of Tobruk and
temporarily joining the Australian infantry as an honorary Lance
Corporal. He later returned to the European theatre in 1944 and
served as a Churchill tank commander in Normandy, the Rhine and
Germany. Despite it being strictly forbidden, Leakey kept a diary
throughout his soldiering career. Based on this valuable account,
Leakey's Luck documents Leakey's wartime service in its entirety,
and offers a view of the war through the eyes of a man who was
there at the 'sharp end'. Many of his exploits were hair-raising,
some even too fantastic to believe. Incredibly, Leakey's luck held
out throughout the war, and he remained in the British Army until
retirement in 1968.
