- Summary
- "An account of the activities of a Field Company of Royal Engineers over a crucial period of World War II. Over a period of some nineteen months from March 1943 to October 1944 the Company took part in the final battles in North Africa when the Germans were pushed out of Africa and took a leading role in pushing the Germans back up the leg of Italy including the key battle for Cassino which was the turning point in this campaign. The story, as told by Tony Daniell, who commanded the Company for the whole of this period, is full of amusing anecdotes of the day to day life of the unit as well as some very detailed accounts of battle actions including the bridging of the River Rapido in front of Cassino."--Jacket.
