JARY, Sydney. 18 Platoon.
Sydney Jary Limited, Carshalton Beeches, Surrey, 1988, ISBN:0951207806

Index. 8vo, green cloth (imitation leather, gilt lettering to front board and spine. The chances of survival for an infantry subaltern in a rifle company during the campaign in North West Europe were slim. Most survived for a few weeks. Sydney Jary survived ten months from July 1944 when he took command of 18 Platoon of the 4th Battalion, The Somerset Light Infantry in Normandy until the war ended for them near Bremen in early May 1945. But this book is not the war memoirs of a lucky and experienced juniorofficer. It is the biography of 18 Platoon and the story of the loyalties and friendships which created from a collection of individuals formed by random selection and survival a unique identity which survived ten monthsof bitter fighting and which still survives today. - from the dj.
