Description: | Select Guide Rating As a 24-year-old lieutenant in the King's Own Scottish Borderers, Peter kept an unauthorised journal of his regiment's advance through the Low Countries and into Germany in the closing months of the war in Europe. ''The book is remarkable .... one of the most striking personal records of the period.'' - Max HastingsAs a 24-year-old lieutenant in the King''s Own Scottish Borderers, Peter kept an unauthorised journal of his regiment''s advance through the Low Countries and into Germany in the closing months of the war in Europe. Forbidden by his commanding officer from doing so for security reasons, Peter''s boyhood habit of diary keeping had become an obsession too strong to shake off. In this graphic evocation of a soldier at war, the images he records are not for the faint hearted. |
