From the icy north of Canada - to an English market town
- to war torn Tunisia, John Bellamy takes you on an inspiring
journey. He was part of the first ever Parachute Field Ambulance.
His World War II experiences in the Army Medical Corps include
the airborne assault on the bridge at Arnhem, being captured
by the Germans - and after liberation by the Russians, walking
from Neubrandenberg to Wittenberge on the River Elbe with
a friend and a dogcart!
His account is
unflinching, lightened by camaraderie and quirky incident,
with little cameos of detail and a real
feeling for the ordinary soldier. Armies rubbed shoulders,
enemies or not. Or did they? Was it really true that the
Germans used the Allies' showers on Thursdays?
