Charles Coombes lived history evacuated from France in 1940, returning to that coastline four years later in the Normandy landings and finishing the war in Arnhem, Holland.

This book is his daughters recollections of those times seen through her eyes. It conveys the horrors, the community and the humour of those days and the years that followed.

This is her tribute to her dad, who came back, and to those who did not make it.
