Описание: "The glider-borne operation to capture the Pegasus and River Orne Bridges has an established place in the annals of warfare. Conducted by Major John Howard and his six platoons of Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, it was a superbly daring, brilliantly executed `coup de main` assault."--Jacket.

Описание: Fighting With The Commandos tells what the Second World War was like for a fighting soldier. After enlisting underage, 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.

He then joined 3 Commando led by Brigadier Peter Young and landed on SWORD Beach on D-Day. 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.
