On D-Day 27 officers and 565 men of 1st Battalion Gordon
Highlanders landed on the coast of Normandy. By the time 51st
Highland Division reached Bremen the following April, after ten
months continuous fighting, 1st Gordons had lost 75 Officers and
986 men in battle.So few got through, but amongst them was Martin
Lindsay, and seldom, if ever, can a trained writer have been
presented with such a splendid opportunity. The author, a former
distinguished explorer, commanded the Battalion in 16 operations,
who was wounded, mentioned in despatches and awarded the DSO, here
tells his epic story.With him we can live through the life of a
regimental officer in the orchards of Calvados and on the mudflats
of Holland, in show of the Ardennes, the Siegfried Line
Break-through, the assault crossing of the Rhine forward to the
very heart of Germany.
