The Battle of France 10 May-22 June 1940 by Philip Warner
This text is an account of the turbulent months of May and June 1940 and is a story of courage, confusion and drama. With the perspective of history it interweaves a mass of new material, much of it revelatory, with the stories of those taken by surprise at the speed and turn of events.
Warner, Philip: - Philip Warner (1914-2000) enlisted in the Royal Corps of Signals after graduating from St Catherine's, Cambridge in 1939. He fought in Malaya and spent 1,100 days as 'a guest of the Emperor' in Changi and on the Railway of Death, an experience he never discussed. He was a legendary figure to generations of cadets during his thirty years as a Senior Lecturer at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. Yet he will arguably be best remembered for his contribution of more than 2,000 obituaries of prominent army figures to The Daily Telegraph.
