Fighting Iron: The 1st Battalion South Lancashire Regiment from D-Day to VE-Day Dominic Butler

This book details the lives of the men who fought and died on the beaches of normandy, the banks of the Maas and into Bremen itself. The history of the 1st Battalion South Lancashire Regiment from landing on Sword Beach on D-Day is often overlooked, and this is an attempt to right that wrong. There are numerous stories from the men themselves, gathered together for the first time, as well as a chronological narrative to give context to the immense challenges and sacrifices these men had to make.
