Armoured Guardsman

“A rare treat: a well-written account of what it was like to serve as a junior rank in the Brigade of Guards during the Second World War.” — The Guards Magazine The outbreak of World War II brought many changes to Britain’s Brigade of Guards. The dress-parade units had always maintained a full combat capacity and made a relatively easy transition into a new unit, the Guards Armoured Division. The Guards landed in Normandy on 26 June 1944 and steadily fought their way across northern Europe. Robe
