Having been lucky to suvive a German air raid on his Bristol home,
Herbert Haddrell's personal account of the harrowing experience of
being called up and sent to Normandy, where he was seriously
wounded after 43 days of battle, is a fascinating and moving story.
Using Herbert's recollections and some valuable letters, diaries
and accounts of fellow soldiers, this book reveals the tale of a
nineteen-year-old caught up in the midst of one of history's
darkest moments. Supplemented with background information about the
war and life in Bristol, this volume also includes rare photographs
and archive material from the author's personal collection.
Compiled by Herbert's son, this book is a poignant reminder of the
terrible ordeal that so many brave young men had to face in order
to defend king and country, and perhaps even more importantly,
their families and homes.
