Description: The author fought with the 6th Battalion of the Gordon Highlanders during the campaigns of the 1st Army in Tunisia and Italy. As a young platoon commander, he and his men were in the forefront of the action. Matters came to a head during the desperate fighting on the Anzio beachhead. Severely wounded, Grace was evacuated amd, once sufficiently recovered, he wrote notes of all that had happened in exact detail.
