THE EXTRAORDINARY PERSONAL ACCOUNTS OF THE SOLDIERS WHO SERVED IN THE DURHAM LIGHT INFANTRY DURING WORLD WAR II. ‘Sadler’s poignant book is a must-have for all those interested in military history, but the message of the soldiers’ inspirational stories will resonate with readers of all persuasions and every generation.’ Lancashire Post ‘[John] has used the [soldiers’] testimony to show us how human beings act under exceptional circumstances.’ Historical Association The Durham Light Infantry fought in every major land campaign of the war. These men were not regular soldiers, they were all territorials. Yet they experienced the wreckage of Dunkirk, were in combat throughout the Desert War, navigated the difficult Italian terrain and endured the jungles of Burma. When it all seemed to be over, one of their battalions uncovered the horrors of Belsen. All of these men showed astonishing courage and admirable perseverance. Not one of them emerged from war unchanged. John Sadler has compiled a poignant narrative, drawing on extensive interviews. The voices of the individual soldiers narrate these historic events, encapsulating the heroism and sacrifice they endured. Dunkirk to Belsen is one of the most unique and moving personal histories of World War II.
