Armoured Guardsmen: A War Diary, June 1944 - April 1945

In defiance of the regulations, Bob Boscawen kept his daily account of his war from Normandy through to Germany where, seriously wounded, he was the sole survivor of his tank crew. In between he witnessed fierce fighting, including notable successes and costly failures. He had four tanks shot from under him.
