During the German May 1940 offensive, the 51st (Highland) Division,
including the 1st and 5th Battalions Gordon Highlanders, became
separated from the British Expeditionary Force. After a heroic
stand at St Valery-en-Caux the Division surrendered when fog
thwarted efforts to evacuate them. Within days, scores of Gordons
had escaped and were on the run through Nazi-occupied France. Many
reached Britain after feats of great courage and tenacity,
including recapture and imprisonment often in atrocious conditions
in France, Spain or North Africa. Those imprisoned in Eastern
Europe were forced to work in coal and salt mines, quarries,
factories and farms. Some died through unsafe conditions or the
brutality of their captors. Others escaped, on occasion fighting
with distinction alongside Resistance forces. Many had to endure
the brutal 1945 winter march away from the advancing Allies before
their eventual liberation. This superbly researched book contains
many inspiring stories that deserve and merit reading.
