    • After enlisting under-age, he was 'found out', joined the Home Guard and then a Young Soldiers Unit for those too young to serve overseas. He managed to get out to Iraq but was again sent home.

    Wounded & Captured

    He graphically describes the action thereafter which included being among the first to reach Pegasus Bridge and relieve the glider borne troops under Major John Howard. Plenty of excitement and danger were to follow and readers will revel in a no-holds-barred memoir which points an illuminating picture of life for the rank-and-file in the build-up to the climax of the war. A superb and very down to earth account of a private soldier who joined the Commandos in late , and participated in all the subsequent actions of No. Scott also dwells on life outside the Commandos, including his partially successful but ultimately frustrated attempt to join the Army despite being well under the legal age, and his brief post-war service with the Military Police before demobilisation.

    It is a very involving story which describes the lot of the ordinary infantryman and the terrifying, humorous and bizarre situations which are thrown his way. Above all else this is a brilliant account of one man's Normandy campaign, and it will occupy a proud place in the library of Commando memoirs. Products Authors Categories Series.

Nick Shoubridge rated it really liked it Nov 14, At a number of points, words starting with 'f' such as flame, flying and fit had lost the initial 'f' but as they remained passable words, were not corrected.

    Please try again later. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. This was similar to other soldier's memoirs I have read. The content was excellent. His descriptions of the preparations for D-Day and his participation in it were riveting. As with many such memoirs with such narrow scope, it is good to have an overall view of the subject. I read it on a Kindle and there was one weird thing that was hard to get used to -- as noted by a previous reviewer.

    For some reason initial f's were often omitted. There would be talk of a "lame thrower. It was only the third Kindle book I've read, so I'm just getting accustomed to the experience. I found this a very easy book to read with real insight into the feelings of the main character, Scotty.
