In eleven months of bitter fighting the combined efforts of the British and their allies ground down their ruthless enemy.

Their experiences make for powerful and fascinating reading. Firsthand accounts of the landings, liberation of towns and villages, fierce actions, not all successful, the cost of war in life and material being home the magnitude of the venture and the range of emotions that were experienced by generals and the most junior soldiers
