About This Item
London: Collins, 1946. No dustwrapper, some bumping to spine ends and corners of red boards, some fading to spine of same, and to gilt titles theron, but these are still readable. Some rubbing to the gilt HD on front board, binding just starting to split after last page of text, but otherwise otherwise a good clean copy of this hard-cover book. The story of the 1st Battalion Gordon Highlanders from the Normandy landings in July 1944 up to April 1945, when the battalion was in the vicinity of Bremen, NW Germany. The author was Battalion commander at the time. 1946 on title page and rev, with no other dates or printings given, so probably a first printing from April (there was a reprint in June the same year). 287pp, 9 maps and a few small b&w drawings of tanks.. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
