ABOUT

Although this war diary of a young Scots Guards officer during the Second World War was not kept with a view to publication, its interest lies not only in its graphic account of the 2nd Battalion's involvement from the Salerno landings in Italy to the end of the war in Europe, but also in its insights into how intense wartime loyalties came to be formed and how a particular battalion maintained its moral throughout constant fighting.
