Synopsis

American paratrooper medics Robert E. Wright and Kenneth J. Moore exemplify remarkable courage and wartime medical heroism through their profound care and compassion for wounded soldiers amidst battlefield horrors.

At the break of dawn on D-Day, two young American paratrooper medics descended silently by parachute into the unfamiliar terrain of Normandy. Landing within half a mile of the quaint village of Angoville au Plain, just five and a half miles from the Utah invasion beach, they had no idea that the small 12th century church in this hamlet, surrounded by stone cottages and farmhouses housing only eighty-three inhabitants, would soon transform into a sanctuary for wounded American and German soldiers. In this unexpected haven, equal care and respect would be extended to all in need.

At the heart of this story are the lives and deeds of medic Robert E. Wright and medic/stretcher bearer Kenneth J. Moore. Their accounts reveal the profound care and compassion they administered to their fellow soldiers amid the brutal realities of injury and death on the battlefield. More than a tale of wartime medical heroism, this is a poignant story of remarkably courageous young men facing incomprehensible stress, striving against all odds to preserve the lives
of their comrades.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Leicester-born Dale developed a keen interest in the military, joining the British Army at 16 and completing two tours in Northern Ireland by 1986. Despite a successful military career, he grappled with balancing military life with marriage, ultimately transitioning to civilian life and seeking solace in libraries, deepening his knowledge of warfare. In 2003, the family relocated to Normandy, realising Dale’s dream of becoming a battlefield guide. Today, he passionately shares the region’s 1944 wartime history.
