In 'Marching to the Sound of Gunfire' scores of soldiers from
almost every echelon of the British Army tell their amazing stories
of life - and death - at the sharp end. In the eleven frenzied
months of warfare that followed D-Day, these soldiers successfully
drove the Nazi hordes back into their Fatherland, and beat them
into surrender. There are stories from the 'poor bloody infantry'
with their machine-gunners, mortar men, stretcher bearers and
pioneers; the brave assault troops who stormed the Normandy beaches
and forced bridgeheads over rivers and canals in four countries;
the outgunned 'tankies' in their Shermans, Cromwells and
Churchills, slogging it out against the mighty German Tigers and
Panthers, and the fearsome dug-in 'eighty-eights'; the dashing
recce types in their thin-skinned armored cars and carriers,
sending back vital radio reports; the sappers building bridges and
clearing minefields under fire; the gunners with their dedicated
FOOs bringing down furious and accurate barrages; the signalers,
patching up communication links; the non-combatant
stretcher-bearers picking up the dead and dying from the
battlefield, their Red Cross armbands no guarantee of immunity from
fire; the RAMC doctors and orderlies tending the wounded in their
RAP under the most terrible conditions; the immediate support
services of the RASC, bringing up vital food and ammunition for the
morrow; and the REME repairing armored vehicles to fight another
day.
