Peter Cochrane joined the company as a young platoon commander in 1940. From his own experience he has told the remarkable story of a small group of soldiers. The stresses and horrors of war are there, but so is the humour and the spirit of men whose morale sustained to the very end. This is the story of a rifle company of the Cameron Highlanders.
Peter Cochrane was educated at Loretto and Wadham College, Oxford, where his studies were interrupted by the outbreak of war. He enlisted in the army and served with the Cameron Highlanders. After the war he was a partner in Chatto & Windus, the publishers, and has since been with Butler & Tanner, the printers. He is the author of Dr Johnson's Printer: A Life of William Strahan. He is married and lives in Wiltshire.
