Summary
The battalion in which Bowlby served was renowned throughout the Eighth army, but luck deserted it after the North African campaign. Stripped of its hard core of regulars it was sent as heavy infantry to Italy, instead of the specialised… role for which it had been trained, and lost its first and second battles. Bowlby describes exactly how men behave when the heat is on, and his account of life in an infantry platoon in Italy 1944. 1989.
