The story of an infantry officer on the Western Front, of the Fourth Battalion of the Coldstream Guards who was awarded the MC. At first he had a relatively safe posting but this preyed on his conscience and asked for front-line duty. This he experiencced in large meaure and his account is hugely well worth reading. The book ends with a moving description of the liberation of French towns which had been under German occupation for four years.
