‘Like a story in a tragic novel and indeed I wish it were only fiction…’
Mike Hicks’ vivid memories of his wartime experiences are a sharp reminder of the brutality and devastation of the Second World War. Rising through the ranks of Rifleman to Colour Sergeant, he survived the horrors of many battles throughout Normandy, Belgium, Holland and Germany.

In later years those letters served a valuable purpose – recollection for posterity, and therapeutic towards healing the battle scars of the mind.
Fascinating reading, a valuable legacy – read and remember!
