Devil's Own Luck: Pegasus Bridge to the Baltic 1944-45 by Denis Edwards
Although strictly forbidden to keep diaries, Denis Edwards managed to record his experiences throughout nearly all his time in Europe in 1944-45. He brilliantly conveys what it was like to be facing death, day after day, night after night, with never a bed to sleep in nor a hot meal to go home to. This is warfare in the raw ' brutal, yet humorous, immensely tragic, but sadly, all true.
Denis Edwards joined the 10th Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry Young Soldiers battalion. He was transferred to the gliderborne 2nd Battalion, part of the 6th Airborne Division. After service in Normandy, the Ardennes and Germany he was sent to India ahead of the Division, which never arrived being diverted to Palestine. He rejoined the Division after hitch-hiking back to the Parachute Regiment.
