Cedric John Foley: Mailed Fist (2022, Imperial War Museum) 4 stars

Taking Churchill tanks through Europe

4 stars

A fictionalised memoir of a troop commander of three Churchill tanks describing their exploits in the run up to D-Day through to VE day.

It's well written and it's undramatic, but you're left with a clear impression of what it was like for the soldiers of Five Troop with, like all proper war memoirs, a lot of sitting about and only the odd skirmish.

Well worth a read.
