Synopsis

Lion Rampant is Robert Woollcombe's graphic account of his experiences as a front-line infantry officer with the King's Own Scottish Borderers during the desperate battle for Normandy and the Allied advance into Germany. Vividly evoking the confusion, horror, and comradeship of war--from the killing fields of Normandy bocage, through house-to-house fighting in shattered Flemish towns, to the final Rhine crossing--Lion Rampant is a powerful, authentic, and moving story, telling with extraordinary clarity how the author, his fellow officers, and the men of his company lived through one of the most bitter campaigns in history.

À propos de l'auteur

Robert Woollcombe was educated at Marlborough College. He enlisted in the 60th Rifles in 1941, and was commissioned into the 6th Battalion, the King's Own Scottish Borderers in 1942, with whom he served in northwest Europe. He served with the 2nd KOSB in India from 1945 to 1946. His association with the regiment spanned three generations--his uncle was killed in action with the KOSB in France in 1914, and his grandfather was Colonel of the regiment.
