Description
The Second Household Cavalry Regiment's war was a short and exciting one, from Normandy in July 1944 to Germany in May 1945. At the forefront of the action, this armoured reconnaissance regiment was continuously on the advance and rarely out of contact with the enemy. This book draws on the recollections of those who were in the thick of the action, weaving an accurate and balanced account of the entire regiment. With a narrative that has a contemporary feel to it, Roden Orde's story brings together the commanding officer and the youngest trooper, creating a comprehensive picture of life within the regiment. Well illustrated with many contemporary photographs, hand-drawn maps, and paintings and drawings, this book offers a unique insight into one of the most significant periods in British military history.
