Summary:  "Bill Bheall was a Green Howard, a foot soldier in the British Expeditionary Force that experienced the sharp end of Hitler's May 1940 Blitzkrieg and was evacuated exhausted from Dunkirk. His next move was to North Africa, courtesy of the Queen Mary, to be part of Monty's 8th Army. After eventual victory in Tunisia, the Sicily invasion followed. Alongside a number of other battle-hardened units, the Green Howards were then ordered back to England to form the vanguard of the Normandy Invasion. In the fierce fighting that followed the D-Day landing on Gold Beach, he was wounded and evacuated. Once fit, Bill finished the war with the East Lancs as a Regimental Policeman in devastated occupied Germany"--Provided by publisher. Other authors:  Cheall, Paul.
